The art of introduction.

Imagine you are at the conference, talking to a colleague. Suddenly an old friend greets you. Of course you are happy to see him and you start talking excitedly. Stop! What about your colleague? Don’t leave her alone. Introduce your friend and colleague by saying “I’d like you to meet ….” or “Let me introduce you to…”. Make sure each person understands your relationship with the other, and mention each person’s occupation. Think of something the two have in common and steer the conversation in that direction. This way, neither of them will feel left out.
