How-to network

Make the most of our events with these helpful tips.

Networking starts before the actual meeting.

Connect with people to learn others credentialing experiences.

Don't know what to say? Asking someone about their work, career path, or whether they have attended CNG meetings in the past.

Ask people what challenges they are trying to solve and connect them to the people with the answers.

You're passionate about what you do, let others know.

Have them readily available when you arrive. Otherwise, make your own at home or share it via NameDrop.

Fully engage in the conversation you're in. No need to look for the next (or better) person to talk.

Newer to networking and the industry? Attend with the goal of making personal connections/relationships.

Your uniqueness is welcomed and appreciated.
