12. Getting famous
For attendees
You want more people to know who you are by the end of the week.
The trap
Posting into the same feed as everyone else and calling that a plan.
What to do
- Elevate Your LinkedIn Presence runs Wednesday 1:15 in The Sector.
- HubSpot Creator Network Meet and Greet is Wednesday 4:45. The YouTube Network meetup runs Friday 12:45.
- Publish during the event, not after it. The attention is live for three days and gone by Monday.
Walk out with
Something published that people who never went to Boston still read.
13. Meeting people you only know online
For attendees
You have talked to these people for years and never once seen their face.
The trap
Assuming you will bump into them. In a building this size, you will not.
What to do
- Meet the Speakers runs twice. GTM and Revenue on Wednesday at 2:30, Marketing and Brand on Thursday at 10:00.
- The Marketing Millennials and GURU Media Hub session runs Thursday 4:00 and is built for this.
- Message them before you land with a specific time and a specific place. Vague plans die in Boston.
Walk out with
The relationships you already had, made real.
