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

@ag94 drink alcohol (joking)
many people are introverts but once you get started it's getting easy.
@ag94 one thing I did after few first conferences and it was successful! Pre-plan all your meetings in the conference in advance. Many conferences have networking app or you can find attendees on LinkedIn in advance
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 :)
@busmark_w_nika no, it was some annual Marketing Conference in Budapest but I don't even remember the name, sorry :D
@busmark_w_nika yeah, and if you know of some worthy marketing conferences in CEE, please let me know, because I sometimes feel like all the good ones happen elsewhere 😬
@busmark_w_nika thanks a lot for sharing! WebSummit has been on my list for long. one day I'll make it there, and oh Portugal ❤️
I haven't been to any conferences lately.
what are the conferences you attended recently?
Pick topics relevant to your work and interests, plan logistics early, connect with speakers/attendees ahead of time, have biz cards ready, take breaks to process info. Going to SaaStr Annual next month to learn about scaling SaaS biz!
I will go to :
- e-Commerce Berlin
-web summit Qatar
- gitex europ
- web summit Vancouver
And so on in 2025.
What to do:
- targeting my prospects
- set all meetings in advance
- write notes before go to the conference for each prospect
- summarize each meeting in the conference and write follow up notes
- follow up after conference for online meetings
