Thirty minutes early, every room, every time.
Larry calls the seat you earn for it the Alpha Chair.
Arrive early and three things happen.
You meet the host while they can still talk.
You watch every person walk in, instead of scanning a full room.
You pick the chair with sightlines to the door.
Then the room comes to you all night.
Late people network from the coat rack.
Early people network from the Alpha Chair.
It costs nothing.
It is the cheapest status upgrade in networking.
Almost nobody does it. Be the one who does.
