Prepare Before a Conference
Chris Brogan had some great advice on his blog the other day on what to do to prepare before a conference.
I won’t publish all of them, so make sure you read the full article, but here are my top/favorite 5:
- Visit the prospective attendees or business people’s blogs and Twitter streams for ideas of how things are going in their lives or in their businesses
- Scour your LinkedIn contacts for the city where you’ll be visiting and send some personal emails to people that you might want to meet in the target city.
- Practice believing in yourself.
- Remember to give your family a bit of extra love before leaving for the event
- Check via Google Blogsearch and Technorati for any references to the event. See whether any companies are announcing anything. Look for signs of business opportunity ahead of the experience, and if you find some, do more homework with search and research.
