What are some good icebreakers for networking events?

Here are a few icebreakers you can use: 1. "What inspired you to attend this event?" 2. "Have you read any good books lately?" 3. "What’s the most interesting project you’re working on right now?"

Can you give me more examples?

Sure! You could ask: 1. "What’s your favorite way to unwind after a busy week?" 2. "If you could have dinner with any historical figure, who would it be?" 3. "What’s a fun fact about yourself that most people don’t know?"

What if I’m shy and don’t know how to start?

It’s okay to feel shy! You can start with a simple compliment or observation about the event, like, "This venue is great! Have you been here before?"

Any tips for keeping the conversation going?

Absolutely! Use open-ended questions to encourage more discussion. For example, ask about their career journey or what they enjoy most about their work.
