How can I overcome my shyness at conferences?

It's common to feel shy at conferences. One effective strategy is to prepare a few conversation starters in advance.

What kind of conversation starters should I prepare?

You could ask about the other person's experience at the conference or their thoughts on a recent presentation.

That sounds helpful! Any tips for approaching someone I don't know?

Absolutely! Approach them with a smile, introduce yourself, and mention something specific about the conference to break the ice.

Thanks! I feel more confident already.

You're welcome! Remember, many people feel the same way, so you're not alone. Enjoy the conference!
