problem is you are going to an event frequented by people from all over the world, and what is considered respectable here is not everywhere. Here we might value a good handshake and eye contact, somewhere else that is much less relevant. For example, (and forgive me if this is completely false, I tend to believe everything that I read on the internet) I read a couple weeks ago that in some Asian countries the handshake is much less important than something like where you put someones business card after they give it to you. If you take one look at it then put it in your back pocket, you are basically saying "thanks but no thanks fuck face!" if you put it in your shirt pocket you are showing respect.
