We create opportunities to exchange ideas and experiences among young professionals and students in the DC area with an interest in the relations between Sweden and the US. Our ambition is to build strong professional and social networks through informal events, such as speaker engagements, cultural gatherings and other social activities. Being a Young Professional member of the Swedish American Chamber of Commerce in DC gives you access to a large local network and special membership benefits.

To succeed in the networking jungle in DC
1. Respect the time of the people you're networking with
2. Listen more than talk
3. Ask more than tell
4. Give more than ask
5. Maintain good eye contact
6. Don't mix networking, marketing and selling
7. Finesse really pays off - don't come on too strong
8. Make other people feel comfortable
9. Ask if this is a good time for a brief chat when following up
10. Thank people for their effort on your behalf
