Networking at Creator Events

In-person matters. Events create relationships.

Before

• Research attendees and speakers
• Set 3-5 connection goals
• Prepare intro and questions
• Bring business cards or link

During

• Talk to strangers (everyone's there for that)
• Listen more than pitch
• Exchange contacts
• Follow up same day (LinkedIn, email)

After

• Send personalized follow-up within 48 hours
• Offer value (resource, intro)
• Stay in touch

ROI

One strong relationship from an event can be worth more than the ticket. Quality over quantity.
