How to make the most of a4uexpo London as a Delegate

This post is for a competition found here:

So having never been to the a4uexpo I thought I would steal some ideas from previous SEO geeks who have been there before and then hopefully see if I can get in the top two on Google for the above term and make my debut.

I think with any conference that I have been to before the most important thing is research, find out who is talking and get a plan together to make sure you can get to all the talks you want to attend.

Tweet: Make sure you use your twitter contacts to liaise with other individuals and companies you want to meet up with. I cant remember a conference which I have attended that hasn’t benefited me in one way or another. Arranging to meet the right contacts before hand whether it be for a beer or chat will save time hunting people down and trying to keep there attention.

Make a name for yourself. You may find some of the most influential digital marketeers talking at the conference and in one way or another this will be your moment to pick their brains. I regretted a meet I went to when I didn’t get chance to ask a question about SEO that took me another year to answer on my own. If you have the balls then announce your name and company before you ask every question this will either make people laugh or get you remembered.

Finally if you see an a4uexpo Bavarian Beer and Sausage on stand 50, for the sake of this post lets all buy something from there and make it worth there while.

The photo isn’t me but if you’re looking to give a booby prize to anyone get in touch through this site and I will gladly take it.
