I thoroughly enjoyed working with Ambassador Bruny on our recent Social Media Marketing World 2013 conference. He managed many facets of our in person networking and helped make this a memorable networking experience for many. Mike is the consummate professional and takes his work very seriously. He delivers on his promises and goes above and beyond to deliver value even when not asked or expected. I highly recommend him for your next in person conference (as long as it doesn't compete with ours!).

I enjoyed this part of the conference so much that one morning when I overslept, I jumped up, got dressed and walked fast to catch them. Mike was so proud of me and gave me a welcoming hug.
If you organize an event and care about your attendees making better connections, I would highly recommend you work with Mike Ambassador Bruny."
Source: LinkedIn Anna Vanlandingham Apr 24, 2013I recently attended Social Media Marketing World event in San Diego and it was great to meet and network with other folks, thanks to Mike Ambassador Bruny's morning walks.
He was very professional and efficient in getting people relax, in smaller-size groups where we could discuss and mingle better than in large event functions.
If you organize an event and care about your attendees making better connections, I would highly recommend you work with Mike Ambassador Bruny.
Source: LinkedIn Frederic Gonzalo Apr 24, 2013I thoroughly enjoyed working with Michael. He delivered great value and obviously put in a lot of thought into what he was doing. He's a real pro at conference networking.
I also got to see his work in action at Social Media Marketing World 2013 where he successfully contributed to improving the networking done by conference attendees. He always had the right attitude and got along well with everyone. It was a very successful conference and Michael definitely contributed to the networking success there.
Without any hesitation, I highly recommend Michael and hope to work with him again in the future.

His way of getting and keeping you excited and staying on track towards your goals makes you always want to have him in your back pocket when you feel like you may be losing your fire.

I've done a lot of work in this space (created the new art of conference network: Hashtags to handshakes). Here are a few thoughts for you:
-get clear on you goal(s) and the type of people who can help you.
-take inventory of what you have to offer(use this acronym Work history, Hobbies, Education, Network)
-once you see the people you want to connect with, do the online research to see if you already have something or someone in common(LinkedIn).
-read and comment on their content or something in their profile.
-Invite them to 15min virtual coffee as an introduction call. (Be in a "how can I be of assistant mindset)
-ask them two question during your virtual coffee (1. What are you working on that you're most passionate about? 2. What the biggest challenge?). Once you know someone's challenge you can find ways to be helpful.
-Be patient.
-let me know if you need more support ;)
