EP16 AFK: A Guide to networking and conferences

Barnaby and James have been attending networking events and conferences for the last 15 years or more.

Amsterdam Dance Event (or ADE as it’s commonly known) is coming up in October, then Barnaby has the upcoming RSPO Roundtable in Thailand this November, so we thought an episode to help you as marketers, businesses or artists get the most from these type of events would make for a fun and useful episode.

We talk about what you need to think about before, during and after the events to get everything you can out of the experience. Let’s look at how to market yourself at networking events and conferences!
