Want to meet every single person who attends an event? Work the registration table. You’ll be able to greet everyone as they enter and when your duties are over, you can seek out those who you most want to talk to.
Whenever you notice an article that would be of interest to someone you know, clip it out and send it to them with a short note.
If more than one person would benefit, photocopy the article and mail it to each of them.
