If you are at an event and act as a host, the first change is in your immediate behavior. Instead of waiting to be introduce yourself to others, you would intentionally introduce yourself to others. This small change will have you meet more people throughout the night. But that is not all. As a host, it would be your responsibility, and pleasure, to introduce other people to other people.
Hosts don't simply look for who they want to meet, they look for who they want to introduce people to. Even if they do not have a business deal or relationship in mind, the job of the host is to create a pleasant open atmosphere throughout the night for everyone attending. When you play host, officially or unofficially, your actions not only reflect introducing yourself to others, but introducing others to others.
As well, being a host is not limited to wherever you go. If you are a host 'in life' you aim to put yourself in positions where you actually are the host. You can serve as a liaison between organizations or even host your own events. By consistently introducing yourself to new people, and new people to other new or old people, you actually weave a network of people around you, and your friends, co-workers and associates.
This 'new blood' will keep conversations going during an evening and will also create little parties at subsequent events. By becoming a 'host for life' you dramatically expand the number of people you come into contact with, know and provide something to. This in turn provides you and the people you are connected to more connections, possibilities for referrals and other such opportunities.
