I love networking :) I am ...So great to meet you!<br /><br />I love networking :) I am always trying to figure out who lives in the cities I am visiting and see if we can meet up. And anyone I know who visits Frankfurt (Germany) has an open invite to hang with me!<br /><br />PS I am writing this from my airplane flying above some very snowy areas. How cool is that?!Lenore Appelhanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664671644163369772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144844961496270733.post-18413116824733122362011-02-02T11:10:46.303-05:002011-02-02T11:10:46.303-05:00Angela - It was!

(For one, I didn't forget anything back in PA or have to take an expensive Acela back to get it the morning of...)<br /><br />Networking in such a huge mass of people intimidates me. Social/online networking is far more my speed. I've always gone solo to SCBWI events, both regional and local, and often feel I'd do much better if I had a group of friends, a critique group, etc. Starting conversations one-on-one, face to face, almost drowned out by the drone of 1,099 other attendees means I have to talk louder than I'd normally dare to speak with complete strangers. I save my loud "outdoor" voice for people I know well.<br /><br />By the end of Sunday I felt a bit more bold and did chat a bit with fellow autograph hounds snaking through the so-called party. A glass or two of wine may have sped up that process.<br /><br />If you have any tips for getting past that "I'm here, I'm alone, I want to meet you, do you think I am talking too loud"-ness, I'd appreciate your input! These conferences would be SO much more fun if shared.<br /><br />BTW, great blog, glad I found it!<br />Kate<br />http://penguinart.com<br />twitter @katesnowbirdKateSnowbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10448605513567873516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144844961496270733.post-58249224215740499622011-02-01T18:34:32.483-05:002011-02-01T18:34:32.483-05:00Wow!
