We were at a party after a conference and this director from EY wanted to talk business. Why? You guys don’t know how to socialize without talking business anymore?

Why do you think anyone from B4 is at any conference?

like

EY are not sponsoring the conference or any other consulting company. I didn’t pay $4k for registration to get an unsolicited ad from untrained employees on business networking 101!
As you are an MD - teach them that they should start with personal talk and then switch to business.
I have 3 meetings this week with VP-level executives I made at this conference and guess what! I declined several offers to meet.
So, no I am not obligated to listen to your ads!

Literally their purpose for attending the professional conference. It’s not a social conference….
