The art of networking

Networking in person doesn’t come naturally to everyone, especially now so much is done remotely and online. But there's always time to teach an old dog new tricks!

We’ve found over the years that networking can feel less intimidating when approached with a plan and a positive mindset. Remember, most attendees are there for similar reasons and are likely to be open to meeting new people.

Hone your art and with practice, each event will become a more comfortable and rewarding experience. So, ahead of CyberSync, our in-person networking and hospitality events for cybersecurity professionals and technology providers, we've put together some tips to help you along your journey to become a social butterfly!
