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?

@busmark_w_nika Not to Munich, I thought it would be online as well

Thanks for the checklist, it’s actually super practical! I’m curious – what are your thoughts on using QR codes on banners instead of business cards? I’ve seen it getting more popular lately.

Is there a guide for socially-anxious introverts tho?

@ag94 drink alcohol (joking) many people are introverts but once you get started it's getting easy.

@busmark_w_nika some cake, but it’s besides the point 🙂‍↕️

@busmark_w_nika this sounds like a solid piece of advice. I’ll try to get most out of it 🥹

@busmark_w_nika simply not true 😂 You just make sure you shouldn’t have started at all lol

@georgitodorovbg Alco doesn’t serve me well, as I just wanna fall asleep quickly 💀

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 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 no, it was some annual Marketing Conference in Budapest but I don't even remember the name, sorry :D

@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 ❤️

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!
