Greetings!
Great question. There are many ways to physically network and you can ‘Google’ them easily; however, I think the networking process begins before you go to the event vs beginning when you arrive. There are a few things I share in my Building Relationships Through Networking session that I’d like to offer up.
1. Be very clear about the type of network you want to build: Personal, Organizational or Strategic. Each are beneficial, yielding different results.
2. I recommend the Strategic network because it is more comprehensive.
3. Choose a current problem you are trying to solve or an opportunity you are trying to leverage.
4. Answer these questions:
a. How is your current network helping you to solve this?
b. Where are the gaps?
5. Now, when you network you have clarity around what you are trying to accomplish and with whom (role) you would like to connect.
6. Finally, keep in mind that networking is about giving as well…be a connector of connections! As you are discovering people’s stories and building relationships, keep an ear out for who may be able to serve or be served by others.
7. If you have clarifying questions or would like a deeper dive, just let me know…best of luck on your networking journey!
Much grace,
Bernadette

How can I make a networking strategy for 2018?
The best networking is slow-cooked, not microwaved. Find events where you can have some kind of regular presence. Got nothing to lose by going to one-time events as they're good practice for meeting people, but you won't really cultivate long-term professional relationships that way. It takes time which relies on that regularity aspect. Build trust and don't look at networking as a transactional thing.RP

Hi.
My name is Areriel I am 18,iam hungry to reach my dream of being a marketing excutive only problem is I do not know where to start with networking
Hello Areriel, It can be hard to know where to start at beginning. What I suggest you do it to start a blog about the things you'd like to be doing. Then start building you following on the social media. Use Facebook, Twitter and Google+ to connect and engage with industry professionals. Go to industry events and connect with people. Make business cards of your blog and give it to them. Be interested in what they do and they will become interested in what you do. If you're interested for a call, I can teach you exactly how you can connect with industry professionals online and offline. Just send me in advance the city you'd like to work in (I guess that's LA) and more info of what you'd really want to do. This is my VIP link for a free call https://clarity.fm/martinzhel/inbound I will be glad to help you out.MZ
