If you are attending IITM Bengaluru 2025, make sure you make the most out of it. Going unprepared is not the right decision. Some of the strategies you can use to get benefit from the event are:
Collect visiting cards relevant to you
Instead of keeping all the visiting cards from the event, only keep the cards that are useful for you, since a diverse range of exhibitors and B2B visitors will be attending.
Carry a diary/make notes
You will have hundreds of interactions in this event or any event you visit, and you can’t remember all. Keep a diary with every visiting card that is important to you, and write a short note. This will help you a lot after the event.
Take selfies
Yes, right, it can be frustrating for you and the other party to remember the discussion or name, but remembering faces is easy. So, with important people, you want to follow up after the event, click a picture. This will help you get a better response.
Attend live demos
It will be beneficial for you to experience live demos rather than listening to the marketing talks. Especially, search for the new technologies, CRM, and automation tools that can help you expand your business.
Book meetings in advance
Most of the visitors plan their day to ensure they don’t miss any key interactions or opportunities. Search for advertisements through WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and Instagram to know who is attending.
Avoid visiting on B2C days
In such events, some of the day is open for the normal visitors (B2C audience) also. Avoid going on these days as it will only drain you.
