Startup events for founders and investors

TechCrunch Disrupt, Web Summit, Slush, VivaTech and TechSparks are where founders meet investors and launch products. Most run pitch competitions, so they are also the best rooms for meeting people worth following up with.

How to network at a tech conference

Big events mean hundreds of short conversations. The people who get value from them are the ones who make it easy to be remembered, and who follow up.

  1. Prepare a card for the event

    Use Create card on any event to make a digital business card with the event cover. Anyone can scan its QR code to save your contact, no app needed.

  2. Plan the sessions you will attend

    Check the featured speakers here, then pick the talks and side events where the people you want to meet are most likely to be.

  3. Follow up within two days

    Save every contact with a note on where you met. With the ConnectMachine app, people who scan your card can share their contact back with you.
