THE BEST WAY TO RECAP AN EVENT ON LINKEDIN.

Last week, a UI/UX designer reached out to me from the "Grow Your LinkedIn Challenge. She is one of our enthusiastic participants, and asked a question

In her words,

“ I just attended a tech conference online. How can I write an engaging recap on LinkedIn that will increase my connections and engage my audience?”

This question is on the lips of many professionals. What do I post on LinkedIn? How do I post so I can position myself for global visibility?

I have decided to create this detailed guide based on her question.

How do you get started?

Imagine this:

You’ve just returned from the "Future of Tech Conference 2024," brimming with insights and excitement. You’re eager to share your experience with your LinkedIn network but want to do so in a way that captures the interest of your LinkedIn family.

Share the most impactful moments and insights. Use bullet points for clarity and emphasize what stood out to you.

The quote, 'Innovation must serve humanity, not just technology,' resonated deeply with me."

Step 5:

Visuals and Media

Include photos, videos, or infographics to make your post visually appealing.

Example: "Here's a snapshot of the panel discussion on AI ethics: [Insert Photo/Video]"

Step 6:

Invite your connections to share their thoughts or experiences related to the event topic.

Example: "What are your thoughts on the future of AI and its ethical implications? Have you attended any conferences recently? Share your experiences and insights in the comments!"

Step 7:
