There you have it: 60 conferences to learn, get inspired and network with the best! 💪

Don’t forget: you can access a Google Sheet with all of the conferences mentioned here.

Happy conferencing! 🤗


Möchten Sie einen guten ROI für den Besuch von Konferenzen erzielen?

Attending conferences comes with a substantial investment (tickets, travel, accommodation, time, …), so if you’ve figured out which one(s) to invest in, the next step is organizing yourself to get a good ROI on that investment.

This ROI mostly comes from meeting new prospects, partners or investors, but most people miss out on a lot of opportunity here for two reasons:
1. They don’t book meetings upfront in an organized way
2. Even if they had good meetings, after the conference they forget to follow up most of the people they met to get to actual results

Working on these two points isn’t hard, but it requires proper organization at scale. This can be done with an Excel type sheet, but if you don’t want to have your overview and your communication in separate places, it’s best to organize it in a CRM.

Wir bei Salesflare haben damit gute Erfahrungen gemacht, da wir unsere eigene CRM-Software verwenden. Deshalb möchte ich Ihnen ein paar Tipps geben, wie Sie Salesflare nutzen können, um bei der Nachbereitung von Konferenzen professionell zu sein:

1. You can make a specific pipeline in Salesflare for conferences. This pipeline can have stages like “Want to meet”, “Meeting scheduled”, “Met” and “Qualified”. That way you can follow where each opportunity is and whether they are qualified for further follow-up.

salesflare opportunities page2. When meeting someone at the conference, it’s best to enter them into Salesflare and give them a tag that refers to the conference (or store this info in a custom field). The built-in business card scanner makes adding people you meet way easier, because you can just snap a picture of their business card to add them with all their info.

3. You can set up automated email workflows to follow up people you’ve met. We for instance surprise people with a personalized email right after we’ve met them at the conference (by tagging them like suggested above). And then they receive personalized follow-ups x days after that if they didn’t reply. You can basically enter the people you met in an automated follow-up flow, so you don’t miss following up with them while you’re recovering from the conference.

salesflare workflows4. After the conference, you can filter your contacts by the conference tag and make sure the right people are added to the conferences pipeline. Then just update the stages of the people you scheduled meetings with to make sure that’s all correct. And start following up in a professional way from there.

salesflare advanced filteringIt’s super easy to organize your conference follow up with Salesflare, without adding much extra work, so if you’re serious about getting results, give Salesflare a try. It’s set up in a few minutes and you’ll be on your way to closing deals and partnerships.

You’ll be properly prepping before conferences and getting results, instead of just showing up! Immediate ROI guaranteed!
