Guide: How to make the most of your presence

Here are five tips I learned by going to many digital marketing conferences. I suggest checking them and applying if you want to make the most of your presence at the Domain Days Dubai 2024:

  1. Set the goals you want to reach. Do you want to network, learn, establish new partnerships, or meet existing partners? Ensure you have a goal or two to focus on achieving them.
  2. Plan your essential meetings. The app allows you to see the list of attendees, speakers, and exhibitors and contact them to schedule an appointment. Sometimes, things can get chaotic during the conference, so you will miss a lot if you don’t arrange the meetings.
  3. Be cheerful and willing to learn. Attitude is always critical and can make a vast difference in outcomes. I recommend you be positive, glad to meet new people, and ready to find out more and learn new things.
  4. Select which tracks are essential and which you want to use. As the list of tracks is available, you can select the ones you want to participate in. If more people are on your team, you can choose which goes where to cover as much as possible.
  5. Follow up soon. It’s essential to start the follow-ups a few days after the event. Otherwise, people will need to remember who you are or will engage in other partnerships. Please make sure you begin follow-up early to maximize outcomes.
