Summary: Michael Goldberg (<a href="http://twitter.com/MEGoldberg">@MEGoldberg</a> on twitter) joins host <a title="Craig Price – The Host" href="http://realitycheck.therealistsguide.com/craig-price/">Craig Price</a> to discuss convention networking at the upcoming NSA Convention. The two talk about their involvement in the 2014 National Speakers Association's annual conference where Craig will be recording a LIVE Reality Check podcast on July 2nd at 3:30pm CST in the Learning Lounge and Michael will be presenting two first-timers sessions with Glenna Salsbury at 2pm on June 29th and 7:30am (yikes!) on June 30th. They talk about the feeling of overwhelming many new attendees get at such a large conference, Michael's involvement in the conference "Buddy" program, how to effectively follow up after the conference and why Craig refers to aspects of the convention as the Star Wars Cantina.  They also discuss the great charity they both are a part of: <a href="http://cigarpeg.com/join">Cigar PEG</a> and why Michael is the de facto bartender for the infamous Cigar PEG suite (think networking!). A great listen for any attendee, be it a veteran or newbie.
