MODEX is a great place to meet with industry peers for some valuable in-person communication, but to make sure you’re getting the most out of your networking opportunities, consider formulating a networking game plan before the show. This doesn’t have to be some sort intricate playbook that you’re going to spend the next several weeks memorizing; rather, the simpler, the better. A basic spreadsheet with contact names, as well as the times and locations at which you want to meet them will do fine. Also, don’t forget to let your friends in the industry know you’ll be there ahead of time and that they can expect to see you at the show. Proactive communication makes the meet-up process smoother for everyone.
