How to get in touch with event coordinators on LinkedIn
Quick overview
Keep it simple: find the right person, make a short, personalised approach, offer value, and follow up. No waffle — just proper steps to get a reply.
Step-by-step
- Search smart — use LinkedIn search and filters. Try job titles like “Event Coordinator”, “Events Manager”, “Event Producer” and add location or company. Boolean search in the search bar speeds things up.
- Check profiles — read the latest posts, events they manage, and mutual connections. That bit of homework makes your message feel human, not spam.
- Use warm intros — if you share connections, ask for a quick intro. A personal intro is mint for replies.
- Join groups & follow pages — join event industry groups, follow conference pages, and engage in comments. Visibility wins trust.
What to say (connection note)
Short and useful. Example: “Hi Emma — I noticed you run events for [Company]. I help speakers/venues get more bookings and wondered if you’re open to a quick 10-minute chat? Cheers, Dave.” Keep it under 300 characters and personalise one line.
After they connect
- Send a 2–3 line follow-up with a clear value offer (case study, venue option, candidate list).
- Suggest a specific next step: “Fancy 10 minutes Tuesday or Thursday?” — small asks work.
- If no reply, follow up once after 4–7 days with a fresh reason or new value. If still quiet, leave it — don’t be pushy.
Extra tips
Use InMail sparingly for cold contacts, keep subject lines clear, and comment on their posts before DMing — that little engagement makes your message feel less cold. Be polite, brief, and helpful. Crack on with this and you’ll get responses. Getting the crayons out for a creative angle often helps — be memorable, not annoying.
