Make the
Connection
Before the
Conference
made by Ashlei Williams
Is your heart set on leadership or
entrepreneurship? If you answered
“yes,” then your eyes should be set
on networking. While technology has
simultaneously managed to make the
world bigger and smaller, power still
remains in the impact of a face-to-
face interaction.
In-person engagement ranges from
a personal conversation to sitting in
a session and learning from a real
person. More and more, conferences
are diversifying their formats to reach
attendees on all levels.
Companies are sending employees
to conferences to not only learn and
network, but to leave transformed
and inspired with a vision for how to
improve their business. MADE wants
to help you maximize your time at
conferences with this list of four
practices to follow.
1. FOLLOW OFFICIAL SOCIAL MEDIA
This may seem like a no-brainer
in the Digital Age, but following a
conference’s social media is key. It is
an easy way to learn what will take
place at the conference without
having to trudge through an entire
website or official brochure. It is also a
sure way to learn about key panelists,
speakers, presenters and sponsors
you may want to connect with.
Follow those people too! You never
know if a post will resonate with you
directly and provide a way to spark
conversation with someone before
