Sidebar: Tips to make the most of your online networking experience

While meeting people over Zoom can’t replace the in-person networking experience, the following tips can improve your experience:

  • Turn on your camera to make better connections.
  • Rename yourself in Zoom to include your full name and company for better exposure.
  • Use your company logo as your profile photo so that it will be your main image if you ever turn off your camera during the meeting.
  • When you can’t exchange business cards, use a LinkedIn invite to continue the connection.

To make sure you are taking advantage of all networking opportunities included with your membership, or for more ideas on how to connect, contact your membership manager or Sunny Cearley, vice president of membership, at 405-297-8948 or
