My friend [Nick Gray]( has the first chapter of his new book up: [The 2-Hour Cocktail Party](. I’ve been to two of his parties and I can confirm he has the format dialed down. I had a great time, met some people, and still talk to some of them. Definitely recommend this, especially for anyone who is a networker.
