Conference Season Survival Tips with Alison Richmond and Lesly Cardec

5 Tips to Make Your Conference Season Better

Have a Conference Season Game Plan

Find out who is going to be at what event and make plans ahead of time. Check out the sessions that are happening and build a schedule for yourself of the ones that will be most useful for you. 

Making even a general game plan will help you stay focused during the conference and help you get the most value out of each event.

Research Your Prospects

If you’re heading to a conference hoping to drum up more business, put together a list of those people you’re looking to engage with and check out what they’re posting on LinkedIn or their company blogs. 

By knowing what they’re talking and thinking about, you can kick off conversations in a more personalized and natural way.

Be Comfortable

Conference days are long! Consider what you’re going to wear to make sure that you can handle the whole day as comfortably as possible.

Save Your LinkedIn QR Code

Did you know that your LinkedIn profile has a built-in QR code to make it easy to share with others?

Follow these steps to save yours and use it in place of business cards. Although some people still like to have a few business cards on hand just in case!

Take Advantage of the Side Events

Breakfasts, coffee breaks, sponsored dinners…all of these events are more opportunities to connect with people on a one-on-one basis!

We hope that you have an incredible upcoming conference season!
