Secrets to Find Clients & Investors at Tech Events - Melrose

In this online session for the Melrose tech community, you will learn about the secrets to find clients & investors at tech events. Many of our local founders and professionals attend these gatherings but struggle to make connections that lead to growth or funding. We will explore practical, straightforward strategies to turn your next event into a success, whether you're networking in the Boston area or on a global stage from your home office.

Tech events can feel overwhelming. With so many people, 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 Melrose professionals to navigate these environments with a specific purpose. It focuses on methodical preparation and execution rather than just showing up and hoping for the best.

You will get insights on several key areas:

• 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.
• Strategies for approaching and engaging potential clients or investors in a natural, non-salesy way.
• How to craft a memorable and concise pitch that clearly 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 networking advice. It focuses on actionable steps you can take immediately. Understanding these strategies is about being strategic, not just busy. Join us for this online presentation to discover how to maximize your return on investment from every conference, summit, or meetup you attend. While framed for the Melrose community, these insights are valuable for anyone joining us digitally from around the world.
