I found the ‘I’m going…are you sure you’re going? You wouldn’t leave without saying hello would you?’ approach followed by the ‘omg I think that’s him’ hesitation and a big ol’ ‘hello hug’ hit worked wonders Very exciting! Was soooo great to finally meet you!

Cheers for dropping by Becky. I agree that often questions are another useful way to break the ice as long as they are on topic. Awesome extra bonus tip

Great post .. and very good advice for any conference go-er. The research aspect beforehand is very important and to understand people’s relationships with others. When I go to conferences with Dave he does get totally swamped after a session and you’re right that it would be much more productive to catch him when he’s left the session room and has much more time to chat. Often what works really well is to be brave enough to ask a question at the end of the presentation from the audience, and then follow it up when the session is over, then you have “broken the ice” as it were.
