...... networking? - The event that I
recently attended was very open to networking amongst all who
attended the festival. Check out any volunteering rules or
limitations for your event or ask the person whom you report to
is it okay to network, if your unsure. You don't want to create
a situation where you're not asked to come back the next year,
or more importantly, to any other affiliated events, because you
were all over the panelists.
Make sure you have an interest in the event other than your
business. - This is more like a statement because I worked my
butt off this weekend for the film festival and I made sure that
my duties were taken care of before I facilitated any
networking. If you don't handle your primary volunteering
responsibilities, word may travel about it and you don't want

if you're doing a good job, you stand a better chance on getting
introduced to the right people who may be able to help your
business in ways you may have never even thought of.
Are you ready to follow-up on all your new contacts? - If you're
volunteering for a particular event and are at the right places,
at the right time, you will have at least 10 new contacts to
follow up on after the event. This follow up is crucial and
should occur with 1-2 days after the event is over. The whole
point is to increase awareness of your business and begin
relationships. Sending an email to remind the person of who you
are and why you may be able to help one another will place you
one step closer to your goals.
Volunteering can be a very productive and fulfilling method of
advertising because not only did I get a chance to participate
in an historic event with some of the most creative independent
filmmakers, I also got a chance to meet some great new people
and share information about myself and the business. And those
relationships that I've made I plan to foster them into
something great. You can do the same too, so do it!
