10 Tips for the 4000 Member AFTER Party

It was good to see everyone last night at the Rathskellar. If that didn't prove the power of online to offline networking I don't know what will! I wanted to write a quick post to give some pointers on what you should be doing to make the MOST of the party last night.
YES! The 4,000 Member After Party.
This is much like the Grammy Awards After-Party.... but without the Dolce and Armani and the plastic surgery.

Let's get this party started.

1. Take some Advil.

2. Take out those business cards and email everyone you met. Always follow up with contacts from networking events. Most of us know this but it still needs to be in the After-Party.

3. Out of the people you met last night.. make sure you are friends with all of them on the site. ALWAYS.

4. If you have pictures, video, podcasts, vodcasts, or manuscripts, add them to the site. We would love to see them.

5. Write about your experience on the SI blog. We want to hear about it! Good or Bad.

6. Email Pat Coyle, Lorraine Ball, or myself and let us know us know what you would do differently at the next party.

7. Make it a point to have three meetings with three people you met at the Smaller Indiana event (in the next two weeks or month).

8. Watch every single video Brandon Lott uploads to the site.

9. Make fun of your friends that DID NOT come to the party. Break them down so we can build them back up at the next event! :-)

10. Invite 10 contacts to the site. Make it bigger, better, and stronger.


Again, it was awesome to see and meet everyone from the site. Until next time!
