Accountex London 2022: Tips and tricks to get the most out of your visit
One of the biggest events for accountants and financial professionals in Europe is back after a long break. Accountex London 2022 is coming up on 11-12 May, showcasing 250 global brands and start-ups. This is a great opportunity to learn, network, and discover new systems and strategies to take your accounting business to the next level.
With an overwhelming number of exhibits, it’s going to be tough to visit them all. Even if you spend only 2 minutes at each exhibit, it would take you 6.5 hours to get through them all, which doesn’t include any seminars or keynote sessions.
With that in mind, here are 5 tips and tricks to make the most out of your time at Accountex London 2022:
1. Know what you are looking for
Before you go grocery shopping, you ideally write a shopping list. It saves you time and energy (and money), and helps you remember exactly what you need.
The same goes with the Accountex London 2022 exhibitor list. After all, you’re investing your time, and just like with any investment, you need to maximize it.
Set your goals and intentions, and prepare a strategy beforehand. What is the single biggest problem you’re trying to solve? Once you understand that, you can crosscheck the exhibitors list and plan your time appropriately.
2. Bring business cards
It might sound old school, but a business card is a great way to stay in someone's memory via their pocket.
This is a great opportunity to expand your network, but relying on someone to remember your website, email address or to look you up on LinkedIn isn't, in itself, reliable.
So have a stack of your business cards ready to hand to new contacts so they can put them in their pockets to revisit after the event.
A good alternative to business cards is creating your own QR code people can scan that will direct them to your website or LinkedIn profile. And to take it up a level, you can create a Linktree account, which allows you to create a single page with a list of links, say your website, LinkedIn profile, and business LinkedIn page, etc. Then you can create a QR code that opens to your Linktree page, so people have several ways they can connect with you—all from a single QR code.
Here’s an example of Karbon’s Linktree account that’s linked out via the link in our bio:
