I write this post from South Beach, Miami, where I attended the SIPA publishers’ conference (http://sipaonline.com)/. Social media and conferences is old hat, but it’s the other networking that counts:
– Making things happen: I discovered there was another meetup happening as I arrived, and not only saw some old friends, but was able to drum up some more recent Miami acquaintances- and make some new ones.
– Get the most out of your city: Between Twitter and foursquare.com, finding places to go and the people to show you them is easy. add that to the serendipity of meeting kind strangers during the event, and you can keep yourself busy and entertained if that’s what you want.
– Repeat this for every city you go to; the tools are only getting more powerful.
– Be one of those generous in your city. Make recommendations, take visitors out- and make connections.
