Making the Most of Blockchain Events: Preparation, Engagement, and Follow-Up

I recently attended a very important Blockchain Event, and I think it is a good time to share a few tips about how someone can prepare for and make the most of such an attendance.

I have attended small conferences and meet-ups in the past, but never a Binance Blockchain Event! This event, Binance Blockchain Week, took place in Dubai and was an amazing opportunity for anyone attending, to immerse themselves in the rapidly evolving world of blockchain and cryptocurrency.

This post is about what key points one can consider to implement and prepare before, during, and after a very important event.

Before the Event

Research the Agenda: Find and check out the agenda, to familiarize yourself with the schedule, keynote speakers, panel discussions etc.

Are there sessions that align with your interests or goals? Then make sure to mark them down so that you do not miss them.

Networking: If there are specific speakers or attendees that you would like to connect, use platforms like LinkedIn or X to connect with them. Check out the content shared with specific tags or if necessary, reach out to them in advance for arrangements.

Set Goals: Do you have specific goals that you hope to achieve at the event?
(For instance, expanding your professional network, find collaborators, increase your branding, or learning about new technologies)

Your goals and objectives will guide your activities and your focus during the event.

Prepare Your Materials: In case you represent a company or even yourself, you may need to bring with you business cards or think of creative ways to share your contact info. (i.e. print a QR code to your t-shirt!)

Travel Arrangements: If you do not know much about the location, make suer to learn more about the place you will be visiting. Plan your travel and schedule well in advance. Maybe you should consider staying close to the venue.

During the Event

Get ready on time: Make sure to wake up earlier and be there ahead of time, so that you can get your entrance badge without much hustle.

Engage Actively: Attend your planned sessions and take notes on key takeaways that could benefit your future projects.

Network: Make the most of networking opportunities. When you approach people, remember to introduce yourself and share what you do.

Social Media: Use platforms like x and LinkedIn to share insights, images, and highlights from the event.

Be Positive and Open-Minded: The blockchain space is continually evolving. Be open to new ideas and perspectives, even if they may seem contradictory to your views and ideas.

After the Event

Your Experience: Did you take any notes? Take some time to review them and think ways to apply this knowledge to your projects.

Follow Up: Follow up with the people you met, by sending a thank-you note or anything else that you wish to share. Keep the door open for future communication and collaboration.

Share Value: Share your experience by writing a blog post or creating social media highlights with your takeaways.

Stay Connected: Don't just leave and forget all about it. Continue the conversation and be ready for a (or the) next one!

There are many similar events that take place, and if you are in the crypto space - I totally recommend to participate in them all!

We should all embrace this journey, enjoy the vibrant world of blockchain and cryptocurrency making the most of it and ...

Lets help BUIDL our future!

After this experience, I am already thinking of the next Binance Blockchain Week and I will be happy to know more about your thoughts and the events that you plan to attend soon!
