Secrets to Find Clients & Investors at Tech Events - Irvine

In this online session designed for the Irvine tech community, you will learn about the secrets to find clients & investors at tech events. Many founders and professionals in Irvine and beyond attend these gatherings but struggle to make meaningful connections that lead to business growth or funding. We will explore practical, straightforward strategies to turn your next event attendance—whether local or virtual—into a success.

Tech events, even those in the vibrant Irvine ecosystem, can feel overwhelming. With so many people and so much happening, it's easy to get lost in the crowd. You might collect a stack of business cards but end up with few real leads. This online talk is designed to change that by providing a clear framework for navigating these environments with a specific purpose. It focuses on methodical preparation for the Irvine scene and beyond, rather than just showing up and hoping for the best.

You will get insights on several key areas relevant to our local Irvine market:

• Pre-event preparation that goes beyond just booking a ticket. Understand how to research attendees and create a target list of individuals you need to meet, whether at an Irvine meetup or a major global conference.
• Strategies for approaching and engaging potential clients or investors in a natural, non-salesy way.
• How to craft a memorable pitch that resonates within the Irvine tech community and communicates your value proposition in under a minute.
• The art of the follow-up. Discover simple techniques to continue the conversation after the event and build lasting professional relationships.
• Common mistakes to avoid that can ruin your chances of securing a meeting or a deal.

This discussion moves beyond generic advice. It focuses on actionable steps you can take immediately. Understanding these strategies is about being strategic, not just busy. While this online talk is tailored with the Irvine founder in mind, the principles are universally applicable, making it valuable for anyone, anywhere. Join us from your home or office to discover how to maximize your return on investment from every conference, summit, or meetup you attend.
