CONVERSATION STARTERSTalk about

food

Compliment them

Smile and be nice

“Lurking around the food station is a really good trick. People will ask you what things are, and you can offer advice on what’s tasty.”

“People love talking about themselves and people love compliments. Be genuine though!”

“Just stand on your own and soak in the environment and smile at people. You will be a beacon of light for the other people who don’t know who to talk to.”

Open up the

“circle”

“You might be getting bored with the first 2 people so make sure you make room for other people to join the circle party!”

Ask to connect after the event

Be polite and gracious
