According to Lilit, the art of effective networking is one of the many skills that Wilshine Event Associates, Inc. executives are continually refining. “Networking is often considered a matter of how many business cards you can hand out or collect,” she noted. “It’s much more than that. It’s about making meaningful connections with people and developing mutually beneficial relationships.”

“This means getting to know these people, finding common ground by asking the right questions, and listening more than you talk,” she added. “It really is an art.”

Lilit noted that conferences are among a number of travel adventures the team can expect. “We also have road trips to different regions, cross-training events, and more,” she said. “It all helps us bond more as a team for having shared these experiences together.”

Wilshine Event Associates, Inc. Managers Offer Tips for New Business Travelers

As road warriors, Lilit advised that the Wilshine Event Associates, Inc. team has gained a few viable travel tips for new business travelers. “If you plan right, travel time can be very streamlined and productive,” she added. “It’s a matter of being prepared in advance.”

Lilit suggested that whenever possible, avoid checking bags when flying. “You’ll save yourself a good 30 minutes to an hour depending on the airport and how long it takes to unload the plane,” she shared.

In security lines, Lilit recommended looking for people wearing slip-on shoes and getting in line behind them, “This could signal seasoned travelers who will know how to navigate the security line speedily,” she stated. “Avoid getting behind anyone with a stroller. It’s a longer wait.”

As far as layovers and waits are concerned, Lilit’s words of wisdom are to plan for delays. “Have reading materials or technology you can access with you. Also bring earphones or earbuds in order to tune out, especially once you’re on board.”

“Travel can be exciting, especially if you plan well to optimize your time,” she said. “We look forward to every opportunity we have to go forth and learn more in fresh and inspiring places.”
