    How to Follow Up After a Networking Event

    Met someone great at an event? Here's how to follow up so they remember you — reference a specific moment, follow up fast, and suggest one clear next step.

    How to Follow Up After a Networking Event

    Follow up within 24–48 hours, reference a specific moment from your conversation, and suggest one concrete next step. Memory fades fast after an event — a quick, personal message is what turns a handshake into an actual connection.

    Move fast

    The window is short. A message the next morning lands while you're still fresh in their mind; a week later, you're "someone I think I met."

    The structure

    1. Jog the memory: "Great to meet you at [event] — loved our chat about [specific thing]."
    2. Add a small value or callback: the article you mentioned, an intro you offered.
    3. One next step: "Would love to grab a coffee" or "happy to send that over."

    Example

    "Hi Sam — really enjoyed talking pricing strategy at the meetup last night, especially your point on usage-based models. Here's that case study I mentioned. If you're up for it, I'd love to continue over coffee sometime in the next couple of weeks."

    What to avoid

    • A generic "nice meeting you, let's stay in touch" with no hook.
    • Waiting so long they've forgotten you.
    • Immediately asking for a big favour.
    • Connecting on LinkedIn with no note.

    Make the next step easy

    Offer something specific and low-effort. "Coffee next week?" beats "we should do something sometime."

    A quick read

    What's happening: you met a useful contact at an event yesterday. Best move: fast, specific-callback message + one clear next step. Avoid: generic "let's stay in touch."
