The DYOJO Challenge - Meet New Professionals
Read the article Embracing the Social Awkwardness of Industry Tradeshows. Then take The DYOJO Challenge to optimize your event experience by pushing yourself to meet as many new professionals as you can.
How Does The DYOJO Challenge Work?
In my career, I’ve learned that nothing happens unless I am intentional. It should be no surprise that you will only get out of a trade show what you are willing to put into it. To maximize professional value you must embrace social awkwardness by pushing through personal discomfort. Be intentional to move yourself from attendee to participant. One creative way I have found to force myself to meet new people is to try to meet a member from every state at larger industry events. This practice gives me a goal, forces me out of my shell, and has opened up some fun conversations.
