[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it was a crappy conference.  I’m not sure why you’re taking it as a personal failure rather than realizing it just wasn’t the right conference for you.  [/quote]

I think it was because I ran into some people I knew, and they were like "OMG, what a day! So many meetings with Congressmen and Senators - gotta run to my next one!" Or "Oh, have to dash, I have this private lunch with the conference organizers." They weren't showing off on purpose, I guess I just know some impressive people and I have impostor syndrome since I'm in my first c-level job and fell into it kind of randomly. [/quote]

I've never been to a conference where no speaker names were given in advance.

But can you follow up with one of these people who had lots of meetings and say "it was great to see you at the conference. Hope your extra meetings went well! I realize I need to plan better for the next one because ((full in the blank, but very briefly)). Do you have any tips?"
