other?
Want to say hi to your
Twitter friend?
Is there a company you’d
like to work at?
Looking for guests in your
podcast?
@hergretaness

There’s no shame in
doing some research
@hergretaness
#BrightonSEO
Check relevant hashtags
on social media
@hergretaness

Sometimes you
can even find a list
of attendants.
@hergretaness
#BrightonSEO
Action

Attending by yourself?
Spot the fellow solo attendees
@hergretaness
#BrightonSEO
Start with a compliment
(but only if it’s genuine)
@hergretaness
#BrightonSEO
Ask questions
What’s been your
favourite talk today?
Have you been affected
by *insert recent algo
update*?
What’s working in-house
like compared to agency?
Where did you get
that beer from?
@hergretaness
#BrightonSEO
“Are you so-and-so from
Twitter/LinkedIn?”
@hergretaness
#BrightonSEO
Don’t be afraid of sharing
something personal
@hergretaness
