Networking Question

I went to a networking event last week and had a really nice talk with an attorney. He gave me his business card, but I didn't give him one because I don't have any. I'd really like to keep in touch with him though. Should I e-mail him to follow up and give him my contact information for the future?

Generally yes. Although judging from the anon nature of your poast, I'm guessing this is a VERY exclusive contact of VERY sensitive situation, so I'd tread lightly.

OP here. Not particularly sensitive or exclusive, just a small market/location.

Good call then. It would be bad if other people from your school food out you were going to PREFTIGIOUS and EXCLUSIVE networking events, of which there are only like 1 in your market at any given time.

Just a heads up: the mod team is open to feedback on this policy (Q&A thread in the lounge, if you'd like to do so), but our current policy on anon abuse is primarily to concentrate on anon usage that is ass-holish in nature. To anyone who was curious, this does not qualify.

Is this the consensus? Does that mean just write a quick 2 or 3 sentence email, mention something unique about the conversation you had, and thank them and add a little hope to see you soon comment?

Bingo.
