How Should I Get the Most from Attending?
Apartmentalize attendees should prepare in advance for the event by first establishing your business goals for 2024, what your challenges and pain points are that must be solved, then identify the speakers and companies exhibiting who you need to meet with. Always attend with some specific goals in mind and questions to ask to ensure you’re on track and not distracted by the people, products and events you’ll confront at the event. It is wise to contact the companies you intend to visit beforehand, such as ManageCasa and ask about some time for a demo and personal introduction to the product. It’s wise to connect with speakers and workshop organizers to delve into their services, products, publications, and topics they’ll be discussing, as you can engage with them more meaningfully in person.
How Can I Meet People and Network at the Event?
Review the people and companies who will be there, visit their Linkedin company page and connect with their staff, employers and connections. Having specific people to meet can help accelerate introductions. Visit their social media pages, read their posts and respond and ask them when they’ll be there and what they will be doing. Identify the speaker sessions, free workshops and mingle with people once there. Everyone will have name tags identifying them and their companies. Keep your smartphone handy to look them up to see if they’re relevant to you professionally and start conversations. Be at the right events and be social with an eagerness to hear what they have to say and ask for their advice to your general questions. Keep it light and fun, and you’ll collect some business cards and memories to follow up later after the event.
