After conference TODOs
Hats off to Jason Keath for putting together one hell of a day at Social Fresh Tampa. It truly lived up to it’s promise of big conference speakers with a small conference feel.
It’s back to work time and I thought I’d share a few things I like to do after right after a conference.
Enter my contacts into my contact database
Managing my own business contact database is very new to me. I’ve been adding contacts into the MindComet database for years, but had never really pursued building my own. Chris Brogan really drives this point home in Trust Agents and I listened.
Add people I met along the way to my “conference people” Twitter list.
Social Fresh was chocked full of great people all interested in social media, many of whom I was able to lay the foundation of a social media relationship with. To keep the relationships warm, I maintain a Twitter list specifically for these folks and pay special attention to interacting them on a regular basis.
If I was a speaker, update my bio on MindComet.com and Linked-in
I was originally slated to just be a panel speaker at Social Fresh Tampa, but at the last minute Jason invited me to moderate the “Real Facebook and Twitter Results” panel. It’s definitely an honor for me and something that I’m attaching to my professional credentials. Plus, iteratively building your resume is MUCH easier than an en masse update when you need it.

Right, for conference attendees that’s instant conversation fodder.
Good call Ashley.

One thing I also do after I attend a conference or tradeshow (and it can be time-consuming) is search for blogs posts about said event, and engage via comments when relevant. This not only establishes a relationship with the author—whom I may or may not have met at the event—as well as their readers.
