SES San Jose - Conference Networking Tip
August 23, 2007
Filed Under Ask |
Yesterday I met Henry Li who recently joined Ask.com as a Director in Business Development.
How and why did I meet him?
Did I walk up to him and introduce myself? No.
Was he wearing Ask.com clothing? No.
OK, tell me how you met him then…
Simple. I always carry an extension cord with me to allow me to share the all too scarce conference power sources. This has the added benefit of having an extra outlet or two handy for other people. Henry walked up to me and asked if he could plug in. Then we chatted and learned that we had a common Wall Street / Financial Services background.
Nice to meet you Henry! Talk to you again soon.

Now THAT is smart!! Good for you.

That is awesome David. I guess after reading this, please might want to “one-up” you and pack a surge protector and a universal AC adaptor for mobile phones and laptops.
Maybe even a sign: “Need power? Spend some time with me.”
Very clever idea
Nice idea. Not only does it protect you from not having power, but it is a great way to help other people. Good thinking!
Not only is it very clever, it is also a useful metaphor.
Postion yourself to be able to help others out and connect with them. On a social marketing level this can be as easy as Stumbling them, friending them on Digg, or helping them out with a Sphinn or two.
Be of use and people will remember you.
Ha - brilliant! I’m putting one in my laptop backpack right now. But wait… now we shall never meet? But…you’ll know you made me a popular guy at the next SEM conference I attend (probably WMW Pubcon in Las Vegas).
That is brilliant! Love that idea! I always carry Shout wipes for the same reason–if someone else spills on his/her shirt right before having to speak, I end up being the hero!
