Collision is a busy three-day event. To take full advantage of the event, it’s important to prepare and do your due diligence.
Have a plan and know what you’re hoping to achieve on your exhibition day, and during the other days of the event. If you’re still not sure what’s best for you, check out our guide below.
Start by gathering your team and deciding what you want to achieve by attending Collision. Are you interested in onstage content? Would you prefer intimate discussions, including roundtables or masterclasses?
Consider dividing your team to conquer talks, the exhibition floor and general networking. Separating your team and being as proactive as possible on the exhibition floor will increase your chances of bumping into someone interesting.

Connect with our media attendees
We want you to get as much media coverage as possible, but it’s up to you to decide how to make your story or product newsworthy.
We recommend doing some smart outreach to members of the media via the Collision app. You’ll be able to find some of them on our attendee list closer to the event, so make sure to check the app.
As obvious as it may appear, news is generally based on something that is new. Identify what is new, surprising and exciting about your product, and you are halfway to piquing a journalist’s interest. If your story or product is interesting to them, they will usually reach out to connect during the event.

Cold messaging
When messaging attendees, your main goal is for them to read it and respond. The best way to do this is to research the person you are messaging. Attendees have a full profile of skills and interests, so be sure to use this information to grab their attention!
Whether you’re approaching an investor, member of the media, or general attendee, personalising messages shows that you have given thought to a future relationship and have put in effort.
