How To Connect With People Before You Go To A Business Event

Posted on Wednesday, June 23, 2010 by Fred Caballero

How many times do we go to events and simply hope for the best? Well, maybe this is a great opportunity to reinvent yourself, investing a good few minutes in something that will maximise your event experience and will bring you home happier at the end of the day.

Below, I’ve made a very short video displaying a few easy steps to strategically connect with professionals before any event. I featured the Dublin Web Summit so if you’re going there tomorrow, leave a comment below, suggest other tips and/or connect with me on LinkedIn before we meet

Best,

Fred

Useful cast Fred, we forget that to get the most out of events we have to prepare.
Just wish there was a quicker way to do the prep (or could that be a business idea?)

Thanks for the comment Piaras.
The exercise doesn't take too much time honestly. In fact it will take you the time you strategically allocated to connect with X ammount of professionals. If you really want to connect with 10 people for instance, yes, it will take you a bit longer but once you meet them in person, you'll see it's well worth it
Good to meet you on Thursday.
