NASPA Conference Tips: How to Network
As we are less than 7 days from our NASPA 2026 Annual Conference, we wanted to provide some guidance about the best ways to network and connect with other conference attendees. Check out below for more details!
- Physical or digital business cards: bring some kind business card that can be shared with anyone you meet so they can stay connected after the conference
- Prepare a short 1-minute pitch: put together a 1-minute pitch about who you are, why you are attending NASPA, and what you hope to gain from your conference experience
- Attend the university socials: on various days throughout the conference, different universities will be hosting social event. Use these events to connect with others in the same functional area, seek out job opportunities, and to meet other students and professionals
- Update LinkedIn: make sure that your LinkedIn is updated and accurately reflects what university you are at, what your current job is, and how you are involved with your community
