Want to hear a scary word? Networking.

Chances are your heart rate just accelerated or you're currently scrambling for your inhaler. We get it. Networking events can be so overwhelming. So many people, so little time, so much repetition of your elevator speech and promises to follow up with strangers before you even really have a handle on who they are. As involved as networking events are, they don't have to be overwhelming.
