As a web designer, developer or business-owner (or all 3-in-one!), finding time to attend a tech event can be tough. You probably think that it is an unproductive way to spend a business day. However, we\u2019d like to show you 6 reasons why you should attend events such as WordCamps, Developer Summits, Design conferences and other tech conferences and conventions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"tech<\/p>\n

1. Self-appraise <\/b>– Evaluate your business and brand!<\/b><\/p>\n

Events like these often see your competition showcase the best of their products and strategy. It\u2019s the perfect way for you to get a sense of \u201cWhere do I stand in comparison to my biggest competitors?\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Network <\/b>– Build better, stronger connections with face-to-face interactions:<\/b><\/p>\n

Particularly for digital businesses, your presence in this setting can make an impact that a digital campaign cannot. This can also help you connect especially with customers who are not inclined to online marketing.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Grow your leads <\/b>– Expand your customer base:<\/b><\/p>\n

Presenting your business at a related-event can help you meet a whole new set of people to reach out to.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Ideate <\/b>–<\/b> Get outside the bubble:<\/b><\/p>\n

With your daily workload, it is possible to get stuck in a bubble. Attending events like these exposes you to different thinking, different points of view and expand or challenge every assumption you had about your industry. Takeaways from these events can be invaluable. <\/span><\/p>\n

5. Become a Thought Leader – <\/b>Project your personal brand: <\/b><\/p>\n

If you happen to be an expert in your field, these events can open many more doors for your business and yourself. It can help showcase yourself as a possible event speaker and industry leader.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Collaboration – <\/b>Learn solutions from other tech professionals:<\/b><\/p>\n

In a complex and fast-changing industry, it\u2019s hard to keep pace with changing requirements and technologies. These events are the perfect place to find experts who can help you figure out solutions to some of the most complex problems you face in the business.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019d also like to share a few tips that can give you an edge at any event:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Find out the attendees in advance and do a bit of research on their profiles:<\/strong> This will help avoid wasting time and expedite getting a word in with the right kind of leader or lead-not to mention helping you strike up interesting conversations and impressing them in return.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Practice your \u2018elevator pitch\u2019:<\/strong> An \u2018elevator pitch\u2019 is a very short, persuasive description to explain \u2018who are and what company is\u2019 in just a few sentences. At a networking event, this is gold.<\/li>\n
  3. Be confident and be yourself:<\/strong> Remember that the goal is to make meaningful connections. Whether for your business or for yourself, at no point should you push yourself to project a false face for your business including fudging numbers, stats,etc as these will eventually be exposed either through the network or just with time.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. End your conversation with a planned follow-up:<\/strong> To ensure your lead takes you seriously, ensure you plan a get-together to carry on your conversation. However, keep it natural. Good relationships are built over time.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So if you weren\u2019t convinced before, we hope you are now. Networking and presenting at events can only be a benefit to both your business and you personally. <\/span><\/p>\n
