When I’m not sure who is who, I’ll ask “Which one of you is so and so” as I scan the multiple of people.

People should use blank slates in more situations than they do.

It’s not all upside as some people take you to be slow for “not making connections,” but on the other hand you don’t make bad assumptions.

Solid advice. I always lookup people on LinkedIn before meeting them for the first time, so I usually don’t even have to ask.
