Here's a hot networking idea that will catapult you head and shoulders beyond the competition: Invite your favorite media or publishing pundit to a silent meal.
I love this idea because no one has to bother with all that tedious, 'getting to know you' small talk. No one even has to launch into pitches. Instead, simply sit and silence and eat. Not only will you improve digestion, and deepen your spiritual connection to the vegetable and animal beings who gave their lives for your meal, you'll forge a stronger bond with your new friend.
Because you can both just sit there, lost in your own happy thoughts, you'll probably have more fun anyway. When it's over, simply exchange cards. I can guarantee they'll never forget you.
