Expo Connections
Trying to be the good networker, I had a couple fruitful discussions, while walking around the floor.
Niagara Falls exhibitor knew my former private sector building manager.
Holland representative's father worked for same company/division as I did.
Interel principal worked with Brussels sister association while at previous company.
Maryland CVB people knew convention "house" I used for external scientific board retreat.
Saw life insurance vendor where our daughter worked.
May have found 2 job leads for our daughter.
Learned close hotels and one "connected" to convention center in Toronto.
Referred two "green" vendors to sister association planning fall workshop on sustainability.
Found possible meeting site - to be open in 2010 - in Loudoun County, VA.
Not earth-shattering perhaps, but connections nonetheless.
