I recently was at an industry meeting and was nervous that having 2 glasses of wine over a 3 hour dinner was too much. @Kristina – I am terrified of drinking too much at company/industry events for that very reason.

The only thing I would say is that in the world of non-profit government communications, we aim to share ideas and knowledge more often than not. Primarily because none of our organizations have much money. We are always "borrowing" ideas and strategies but it is ok, because we all are working for a common greater good, which in this case is wildlife conservation. I do agree that even in my line of work we are the face of our various agencies, regardless of how good of buddies we are at a conference. We represent something larger than ourselves while there and therefore should act accordingly (as opposed to some of my peers who got sloppy drunk and missed 2 of the 3 sessions the next day).
