Conference Tips
Whilst I’ve never been asked to be a speaker (why would anyone want to listen to what I had to say!), I’ve been to many web conferences and many not web related. My wife’s role includes conference speaking, so I know how it works but I’d like to suggest the following tips as an attendee:
- Don’t be shy. It’s hard to fit in when everyone knows each other or when company teams show up.
- Dress well. Of course, techies show up in the clothes they wore last night, but to make an impression dress well and give thought into what you are saying.
- Introduce yourself first. Is easier said than done, but think of the money spent on attending and getting the most “value” from the conference.
- Define goals for “what you want” out of the conference, prepare questions too.
- Do your research. Find out who the speakers are and other attendee’s and send them friendly emails beforehand.
- Get stocked up on well designed business cards (with your details labelled clearly), also translated in the local language if abroad.
- Find out and attend the after show/party, this is probably where most networking is done!
