Great Blog Posts About Events and Behavior

[Deborah aka Loxly]

Many women have been shaking their heads at the way people have been behaving at recent professional events, not limited to Affiliate Summit. Karen Garcia did a great post about the Bikini Babes that showed up, and now this post by Jen Goode covers some more behavior.

I think I will be writing something as well, because as a woman at industry events, or as an attendee in general, there appears to be a lot of "line crossing" and assumptions that are being made.

The really big point is to remember that your behavior at industry events leaves a lasting impression on the people that you want to work with. As Karen says in her article, I'm not a prude, but there are more things crossing the line.

If people become uncomfortable being around you in person - they aren't going to be willing to work with you online either.

I have to agree... especially when I walked by the area where Pareto (I think) had the nice Ducati motorcycle and was attempting to get those bikini babes onto the bike for a picture... it just screamed "Adolescent male fantasy" happening before my eyes...

I haven't posted my recap of summit yet as I'm still working on it, but for fear that it's too long I glossed over the bikini babes... maybe now I will write a longer, separate post about it.

Trisha, that sounds like a good idea. Separating the topics will have more impact in the long run.
