We hope to see you in Chicago next month at our SuperConference. Most inside counsel attend for program content and CLE, but I encourage you to also maximize the peer-to-peer network-building potential of SuperConference. For attendees who may be in job search mode, or if you are a private law firm attendee, then networking itself is your primary agenda.

Here’s the thing. No one wants to become “that guy,” the one who stalks panelists, or who turns Q&A time into a speechmaking opportunity. We don’t want you to be “that guy,” either. So please consider the following suggestions for effective conference networking. Even if you are a veteran of the conference scene and think you already know all there is to know about networking, I encourage you to keep reading. You may find a helpful new tip here.
