In this brief dialogue, Speaker A and Speaker B discuss their networking preferences, emphasizing that large crowds and big conferences feel overwhelming for them. Both speakers highlight a preference for intimate settings such as one‑on‑one meetings, dinner gatherings, podcast conversations, and walking discussions. They note that these formats feel more intentional and productive for building genuine connections, while still acknowledging that large events can have some value.

For me, I've just realized that I can't do large crowds. I will always take these meetings, always. You know, the dinner last night, night through, we're throwing another dinner tonight for some speakers. I just work better on that. So, and then, you know, podcasting, right? It's very intentional. That's just how I am. That's how it works better for me.
Yeah, I agree. Like, in the end, like, of course, like, large can help, but I prefer just more just a one-on-one meeting. Yeah, same. And dude, walking, make a connection, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I walk into that conference, I'm expecting 500 people, like—
Yeah, you also get a bit lost in the end, like, okay, there are hundreds of people, like, who should I actually talk to? So that's why I usually like to check a bit the schedule, like, oh, who is speaking, or is there an interesting talk, meet up.
