Gone are the days of stiff handshakes, awkward icebreakers, and the inevitable pile-up of business cards that might never see the light of day again. No more throwing networking events because you were told that’s what you should do or to make a quick buck. Think of it this way: your event is like a curated playlist you’re crafting for a friend. You wouldn’t just throw together random tracks, right? You’d think about the vibe you’re trying to create, the feelings you want to evoke.
