How to make the most out of ecommerce events?
To truly capitalise on your time at eCommerce events, consider the following strategies:
Pre-Event Preparation:
Clearly outline your goals, whether it's networking, learning about new technologies, or finding potential partners. Research the agenda, identify relevant sessions and speakers, and prepare a list of questions to ask. Pack smart, bringing necessary materials like business cards, notepads, and chargers.
During the Event:
Attend networking sessions and social events, introducing yourself to new people and engaging in meaningful conversations. Share your business card and collect others. Actively listen to sessions, taking notes and asking questions, and identify potential partnerships or collaborations. Use breaks to network, recharge, and reflect on the sessions.
Post-Event Follow-up:
Organise your notes, identifying key takeaways. Connect with new contacts, sending personalised emails or LinkedIn messages to follow up on conversations and sharing relevant articles or insights to keep the conversation going. Share learnings with your team, organizing a meeting to discuss key takeaways and action items, and document your learnings for future reference. Leverage social media, sharing your experiences and engaging with other attendees and speakers online.
Additional Tips
Dress professionally, as first impressions matter. Be mindful of your time by being present, focusing on the moment and avoiding distractions. Embrace new ideas and perspectives, and most importantly, enjoy the experience and build lasting relationships!
