Or End?? I cannot believe the techdays website does not have an agenda with timings against it so we know what time to be there and what time we can expect to leave!!!! Can anyone help????

Try to get a list of people attending the conference (maybe ask in a forum) and note those you want to meet. Then do you homework and find out a few things about the people in your list so you could have something to start the conversation. Keith Ferrazzi's "Never Eat Alone" and Debra Fine's "Small Talk" also provide lots of great tips. Another tip is to know your target.

I tend to be a bit of a wallflower at these events. Will try to use some of these at TechDays. Thanks, Joey. I tend to be a bit of a wallflower at these events.
