Conference Success Tips

• Arrive early for setup: Give yourself enough time to get settled before attendees arrive. It helps you start the day organized and confident.
• Bring plenty of business cards or contact info: Even in a digital age, people appreciate something tangible to remember you by.
• Take advantage of tabletop time: Use sessions to engage, ask questions, share ideas, and invite attendees to connect later.
• Join meals and receptions: Some of the best networking happens during breaks and meals, so don’t skip the casual conversations.
• Attend education sessions and roundtables: Gain industry insight and show attendees your company values learning and growth.
• Use raffles or contests to your advantage: Participate in drawings or activities. It’s a fun way to meet new people.
• Walk the floor yourself: Visit other sponsors and dealers. Networking goes both ways.
• Take notes during conversations: Jot down names and key takeaways. It makes your follow-up afterward much more meaningful.
• Be ready with a short intro: Have a quick elevator pitch about your company and what sets you apart. Keep it genuine, not sales heavy.
• Stay for the full event: Some of the most valuable connections happen at the very end when conversations are smaller and more personal.
