Networking and attending industry events is the perfect way to build your brand, find new business opportunities, and get insights. From my experience, conferences are the best way to stay up to date with market trends. When working in the same company for a long time or promoting a specific niche, it’s easy to miss important updates on what’s currently trending and effective. Conferences, and often the after-parties that follow, are the perfect informal setting to connect with brands and uncover some industry secrets.

Make the Most Out of It
It’s important to choose the right event with the right type of visitors and agenda. It’s equally necessary to spend some time preparing for it, being effective at networking, and making sure you follow up on all the leads and new contacts.
The Importance of Preparation
- Publish ad materials and prepare a value proposition.
A few weeks before the conference, think about preparing your business cards/flyers and any other printouts you’d like to bring along. You can even go one step further and get customized clothing with your branding so everyone recognizes you in the crowd.
Prepare a brief describing what you offer to the potential partners.
- Schedule the meetings
Another key step is to schedule meetings in advance. Affiliate conferences are often fast-paced and packed with sessions. Pre-arrange meetings to make the most of your time. Contact potential partners to set up the time slots. Conference apps come in handy for this task.
- Make announcements that you’ll be attending.
Use your social media, blog, or newsletters to inform your audience that you will be attending. This way, potential partners can contact you and plan a meeting.
Networking
- Connect with attendees before the event and share your participation on social platforms.
- When approaching potential partners, have a short introduction highlighting who you are and what you do.
- Always carry enough business cards to hand out.
- Make time for informal gatherings, afterparties, and meetups.
- Smile, make eye contact, and show genuine interest in others’ projects.
- Participate in panel Q&As or breakout sessions to meet fellow professionals.
- Keep track of who you meet and make notes to follow up once you’re back home.
Don’t Forget to Follow Up
While the memory is fresh, send follow-ups to all the partners you spoke to at the event. Take the time to reach out to everyone. A well-crafted follow-up message shows professionalism and might become a good start of the relationship. Mention something specific from your discussion to personalize your message and remind them who you are.
