It is good practice to connect with the professionals that you met on LinkedIn immediately after the event so that your face will remain fresh in their mind.
Most networking occurs immediately before and after an event. It is good practice to connect with the professionals that you met on LinkedIn immediately after the event so that your face will remain fresh in their mind. There’s nothing worse than going home and forgetting the names of potentially important contacts or waiting weeks before you send them a LinkedIn request. This diminishes the chances of your connection request being accepted as the recipient might not remember you. Always send a LinkedIn request with a brief personalised message, mentioning that you enjoyed meeting them at X event and hope that you can both keep in touch in the future.
