Networking is all about sharing of ideas, information, best practices, and lessons learned.
Events provide me with great opportunities for learning from others and to lend a helping hand to people you meet.
The most important thing is to attend with the right frame of mind, as being interested in other people is more important than thinking about being interesting yourself.
