H ere are the top 5 tips for making the most out of any social event! Arrive early This gives you a chance to get to know the other ‘early-comers’ in a relaxed, and less hectic atmosphere. As other people begin to arrive, you will have the added advantage of being able to meet more and more people.

Not to mention, graceful exits are harder to implement when you are sitting. Stand in the centre of the room Similar to sitting, standing in corners is not conducive to meeting people. In the centre, you can have more contact with people. Hang out by the food and drink This is a natural space to begin conversations with people.
