Attending networking events is great for entrepreneurs and eCommerce sellers.
When considering events that you’ll travel to, you’ll want to keep in mind any time changes involved and think of arriving a day early and or leaving a day late so that you’re fresh and alert for the seminar.

Depending on the budget you have, you might consider finding out if there are free shuttles and/or shuttle services to and from the hotel of the event so that you don’t need to rent a car or pay for a solo cab ride.
Once you’re at your meeting make sure you bring a sweater or light jacket and wear comfortable shoes as often there is a lot of walking to and from seminar rooms and temperature changes in the meeting rooms.
Having a jacket and or sweater with you and comfortable shoes is helpful.
Whether the conference networking event you’re attending is local or a distance away you’ll want to grab a list of the event speakers. Then google them! Yup google them.
Read their blogs, listen to their youtubes and or read a book they’ve published. What is their area of expertise? Think about questions you’d like to ask the speaker if you’re able.
