Nearly a year ago I sparked a conversation with an attorney I had just met at a bar association event. When I approached this attorney, I had no idea where the conversation would lead or whether it would lead to anything at all. Fortunately, it ended with an offer for an amazing speaking opportunity. That conversation also resulted in a strong professional connection. That experience reminded me of the power of networking and made me wonder how many young lawyers miss out on valuable opportunities because they hate networking or see it as something unsavory.

Networking is a powerful thing and is truly an art that can be learned and mastered by anyone, no matter your personality type. In this article, I will provide practical tips that you can utilize to make the most out of your next networking event. With the holidays fast approaching, these tips will be great to try at your next holiday party or bar association event.
