I'm curious if there are any good books or online resources or even coaches/tutors for etiquette and manners, particularly as it applies to academic and tech conferences...
I don't mean like where you put your fork and knife but more:
- how to get in and out of a conversation circle
- event invitations: when is it ok to go and not go
- what's the appropriate amount to talk about yourself and your idea
- how to identify this conversation is going nowhere
- how to approach FAMOUS GUY
- how to appropriately ask your friend to introduce you to his friend, FAMOUS GUY
- etc
