How soon should I send a follow-up email?

Ideally within 24-48 hours while the conversation is fresh. Mention a specific detail from your chat to show you were genuinely engaged.

What if I cannot remember what we discussed?

Focus on the event context and their work. Say something like "I enjoyed learning about your role at [Company]" and reference something from their LinkedIn or recent company news.

How do I follow up if they do not respond?

Wait 5-7 days, then send a brief follow-up. Keep it short: "Hi [Name], just floating this to the top of your inbox. Happy to work around your schedule."

Should I connect on LinkedIn before or after emailing?

Either works, but if you email first, include your LinkedIn in the signature. If connecting first, reference the pending email in your LinkedIn message.
