I completely agree with you. In addition to preparing beforehand, being approachable to other attendees is crucial to making meaningful connections at a professional networking event. You can achieve this by smiling, making eye contact, and offering a firm handshake when you introduce yourself, as it helps you to come across as friendly and confident.

Furthermore, actively listening to the person you’re speaking with and asking relevant follow-up questions can demonstrate your interest in their perspective and help build rapport with them.
