Networking

What about your business cards? Be sure to print them off before you arrive. Even consider doubling your usual order, the Awards are a full day of networking!

Researching exhibitors is a key way to get the most out of the event. There will be exhibitor booths, demo presentations, and then the awards ceremony itself. Doing your homework on some of the big names, like Nicole Sherrod and Tiki Barber, will be really helpful (If you're a New York Giants fan, maybe bring some memorabilia for Barber to sign)!
