Checklists for Attending Tech Events in 2020
It might be a hassle to choose which event to attend and what are the things you should consider before and after booking tickets. Hence, we have prepared a checklist of the things that would make the whole experience easy:
- Visit the event page to know about the events better. It also provides an insight about different nuances of the event.
- Check the date and time of the event. You don’t want it to coincide with another engagement.
- Always go for an early-bird booking, to get discounts. In addition, if you wait for too long, you might miss the opportunity to get tickets later.
- Book the tickets which are more pocket friendly. In some events, you have the option to buy standalone tickets for a particular session.
- Download the schedule/voucher if the website has any. This will help choose the events you are interested in.
- Always keep your visiting cards handy, as networking is one of the main agendas to attend conferences and tech events in 2020.
- While some events let you record videos or the talks from well-known personalities, most of the events have a no-record policy. In that case, note down the salient points on a notepad.
- Socialise and interact with like-minded attendees. Communicating with others will not only help in expanding your horizons but also present opportunities to do something new.
If an event has one or more known speakers or well-known personalities, choose that event. It will broaden your horizons and will make the whole experience enriching.
