How to prepare for the conference? Are you planning to go to any upcoming?

Question

You may prefer to mingle offline and create business partnerships at events. 🤝 Yesterday I wrote an article on Substack and what to do before/during the conference (I left the link in the comments). ----- I would list the following: – Announcing exhibition details – dates, booths, map guide – Communicating your participation on social media and inside the event app – Preparing physical prospects – unified branded clothing, roll-ups, banners, business cards, company merch for attendees ----- What activities do you do when you prepare for one? Are there any conferences you want to attend soon?

many people are introverts but once you get started it's getting easy.

Haven't been to a conference for half a year now, but some of them create Facebook events which you can join and network with others even before the event starts! Or at least, you'll get a picture of who's going there and how you might approach them :)

Thanks for the info! Looking forward to the event and meeting everyone.

@ag94 But in general, be around your more extroverted colleague, as soon as other people join the herd, start with "hi, I can see you are listening too, join us, this is what we do... – put the product into their hands)  :D

Great checklist! Here is what I will also do;

1. Research and identify the key people to connect with beforehand.
2. Build hype by posting about the event using official hashtags.
3. Work on to have fresh and valuable content ready to share.
4. Plan my post-event follow-ups in advance.
