1. Plan Your Agenda in Advance
With so much happening over two days, it’s crucial to plan your time wisely. Review the schedule ahead of time and identify the sessions, workshops, and speakers that align with your business goals. Make a list of the must-attend events and be sure to prioritize those that offer the most value for your current challenges and interests. Don’t forget to leave some room for spontaneous networking and exploration!
2. Network with Purpose
Networking is one of the biggest advantages of attending an event like this. With over 12,000 professionals in attendance, it’s important to be strategic. Prepare a few key talking points about your business, and don’t hesitate to reach out to fellow attendees, speakers, and exhibitors. Remember, every connection is an opportunity, whether it’s a potential partnership, client, or simply a valuable new contact in your industry.
3. Take Advantage of Live Demos and Exhibits
The expo will feature over 300 solution providers showcasing the latest in ecommerce technology, platforms, and services. Don’t just pass by these exhibits—take the time to engage with the demonstrations and ask questions. This hands-on experience is invaluable for discovering new tools that can enhance your business operations and give you a competitive edge.
4. Attend Diverse Sessions
While it’s tempting to stick to topics you’re already familiar with, attending a variety of sessions can broaden your perspective and spark new ideas. The expo offers over 200 hours of content across 12 conference theaters, covering everything from customer acquisition to MarTech innovations. Challenge yourself to attend at least one session outside your usual area of expertise—you might discover a new strategy that could benefit your business.
5. Follow Up on Your Connections
The real value of networking often comes after the event. Don’t let the connections you’ve made go cold—follow up with the people you’ve met within a few days of the expo. Whether it’s a simple thank you note, a LinkedIn request, or a more detailed proposal, maintaining these relationships can lead to fruitful collaborations and business growth in the future.
