never turn down free things

It is a blast to go to these conferences as there are some amazing vendors that come out to advertise and promote their business.  I usual try to avoid the vendors as I think it is super weird to chat with them knowing I have NO power to purchase anything!  However, i learned from my partner in crime that it is perfectly acceptable to build relationships with these vendors just in case one day I do have the power and can remember my networking. 

Therefore, today I will be building networks and taking home some great give aways.  Not because I grabbed and dashed, but because I honestly wanted to build a relationship!
