How to Make the Most of These Spaces

Going to the right places is just one part of the equation—how you approach meeting people matters just as much. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Be Intentional – Don’t just sit back and wait for someone to approach you. Strike up conversations, make eye contact, and be open to meeting new people.
• Have a Conversation Starter – Whether it’s a compliment on their drink choice or a comment about the atmosphere, a small opener can lead to a great conversation.
• Read the Room – If someone seems engaged, keep the conversation flowing. If they’re giving short responses or looking away, they may not be interested—and that’s okay!
