After a year of attending only virtual events, we are finally able to attend them in person. One big perk with IRL events? Networking. But, whether you’re fresh out of college and trying to land your dream job, or a big-time CEO, chances are you are a little out of practice. With just a few tips, you’ll be back out there—feeling comfortable and confident to shake hands (or touch elbows) and make a connection.
Since the start of 2021, the cred team has grown so much across the company—especially our event and speaker management teams.

With the event industry flipped upside down these past 18 months, there’s a tremendous opportunity to create new best practices, ideas, and innovation. The world just learned to navigate fully virtual events, but now it must tackle a new challenge: invent engagement for hybrid events and recreate excitement for in-person ones.
