The last time I wrote on some tips I used for an event I attended last year, that till date I’m still reaping the results. Here is a continuation of those tips TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OFF A TECH EVENT pt. 2 1. Utilize Social Media: Follow the event's official hashtag and participate in online discussions. Share your takeaways and engage with others' posts. This really shows that you were attentive at the event, and it also gives your social media page more exposure after the event. You’ll find more people who attended the event trying to connect with you virtually. ————— 2. Charge your Devices: You might think this is a joke or unnecessary, but it’s an important tip I know most people overlook. Ensure your phone, tablet, and laptop are fully charged. You'll likely be using them for taking notes, networking, and sharing insights on social media. You don’t want a situation where you’re supposed to take a selfie with someone you look up to, but your phone is down, and the truth is, you can’t depend on using the phones of others. You might not get your pictures in days 😭 ————— 3. Bring Essentials: Pack items like a notepad, pens, chargers, power bank, a reusable water bottle, and any necessary medications. The water bottle part is always very important, because you may not want to get up to go get water when an important session is going on, your water bottle will come in handy there. 👌🏾 ————— 4. Take Breaks: Conferences can be overwhelming, so don't forget to take short breaks to recharge, especially if it's a multi-day event. I either walk around the event venue or use the opportunity to move around exhibition booths, it’s my own way of taking breaks, yours might be different. ————— 5. Follow up Afterwards: Connect with people you meet on LinkedIn, Twitter or other professional networks. Send a brief message to express your interest in continuing the conversation. Anything to make you visible, do it. Just don’t make it look like you’re stalking them. No one likes a stalker, be professional. I connected with a major person from Multichoice using this method, and till date, we still communicate via LinkedIn. ————— 6. Reflect and Implement: What’s the point of all the tips I’ve given so far, or of you even attending the event if you don’t plan to implement? After the event, take time to reflect on what you've learned and how you can apply it to your work or projects. A lot of things I know today, I didn’t learn them from a course I took online, they were from events and chatting with experts there. Remember, high-profile tech events are not only about gathering information, but also about building relationships and expanding your professional network. Enjoy the experience and make the most of it! ————— If you missed the part 1, here is the ljnk to it: xitter.cf/saraidahosa/stat… Bonus: If you’ll be attending the #AMDSGH 2023 Edition, happening in 8days, don’t forget to use my code WID20 for a 20% discount on registration.
