Would absolutely love to go but will be away on vacation

I'll be home for XMAS, but return to Germany on the 14th. I'd try and stay, but I'm too shy to network. I don't know anyone going. What if nobody liked me?

You get used to it

I know I have

What if I saw that hosting overlord guy? What would I say to him? What if he's mean to me like on the forums?

Seriously though, have you been to one of these before? Are they any good?
Any tips on networking?

If I were going I'd certainly have a chat with you Dave.

I might even have had a chat with Michele

The one I have learnt in my short Internet career is that typed words are very easily misinterpreted, and actually talking to people live makes a huge difference.

I will definitely get to one of these things sooner or later

Ah, thanks Richard. Maybe the next one I'll see you there, we can have a chat and we can exclude Dave from akamarketing.com

I was at BarCamp in Cork and I also try to get to as many other events around the country as I can.

Apart from anything else I love what I do and I probably have more friends within the industry than I do outside it.

If you are able to make it to anything I'd try for an IIA event. Most of them are fairly relaxed (see my blog for photos of this year's Net Visionaries to give you an example).

The people you meet at events will vary a lot. In some cases they are hardcore techies and industry "heads" that go to everything, while in other cases they are merely curious about this entire "web thing" and want to find out more.

In either case they are usually there to chat and make new friends / acquaintances / enemies, so you'll be in the "same boat" as everyone else
