✅ Step-by-Step: How to Network at TGIF Events

1. 🎯 Set Your Intention

Before you arrive, ask yourself:

• Are you looking for clients, partners, friends, investors, mentors, or just connections?
• What value can you offer others?

Example: “I want to meet other entrepreneurs and learn about their business models.”

2. 🙌 Connect with the Organiser: BK Han

Make it a priority to greet BK Han, the founder of TGIF.

“Hi BK! I'm [Your Name], excited to be here—this is my first TGIF event.”

BK is well-connected. If you're friendly and clear about who you want to meet, he can introduce you.

“I’m looking to meet creatives in AI marketing—anyone you’d recommend I talk to?”

3. 🔗 Follow TGIF on Key Channels

Stay plugged into the community even after the event:

• ✅ Join the WhatsApp Group
• ✅ Follow TGIF on Eventbrite (for upcoming event invites)
• ✅ RSVP via Luma (for event details and reminders)
• ✅ Join the TGIF LinkedIn Group (for professional updates and networking)

This helps you stay visible and connected long-term.

4. 🤝 Start With a Smile and Simple Introduction

TGIF is casual and friendly. A simple opener works:

"Hi, I’m [Your Name]. What brings you to TGIF today?"

5. 🎤 Prepare a Quick Self-Intro

Keep it short and clear (10–15 seconds):

“I’m Will. I help businesses grow using AI tools for marketing and content creation.”

Skip jargon—speak like a human.

6. 👂 Ask Great Questions

• “What do you do?”
• “How did you get into that?”
• “What are you working on now?”
• “What inspired you to come tonight?”

This helps build real connections.

7. 💡 Give Before You Ask

Offer help, advice, or intros:

“I know someone in your industry—want me to connect you?”

It builds trust instantly.

8. 📱 Exchange Contacts

Say:

“Great chat—can I add you on WhatsApp or LinkedIn?”

Bonus tip: Take a selfie together so they remember you!

9. ✉️ Follow Up Within 24–48 Hours

“Hi [Name], great meeting you at TGIF! Loved our chat about [topic]—let’s keep in touch.”

Optional: Invite them for coffee or a Zoom call.

✨ Pro Tips for TGIF Events

• Dress smart but approachable.
• Arrive early and avoid cliques.
• Move around after each chat.
• Tag TGIF and new friends in your IG stories.
• Follow BK Han for insights and updates.
