# Follow up after a networking event

> After an event, ConnectMachine shows everyone you met with the notes and reminders you set, so you can follow up while it still matters. Send a message, log the next step, and track who you have already reached, turning a stack of new contacts into real conversations instead of names you never message.

## How it works

### Start with everyone you met

ConnectMachine gathers the contacts you scanned or saved at the event in one place, each with the note you added about them.

### Follow up with context

Open a contact and you have where you met and what you discussed in front of you, so your message is specific instead of generic.

### Track who is done

Mark who you have reached and set reminders for the rest, so the whole list gets handled instead of just the top three.

## What makes it work

### One list per event

Everyone from a given event sits together, so a conference haul becomes a clear follow-up list instead of scattered contacts.

### Notes and reminders built in

Each contact carries your notes and a follow-up reminder, so you reach out at the right time with the right context.

### Nothing slips

Track replies and next steps against each person, so the connections worth keeping do not go cold after the event.

## FAQ

### How do I follow up with everyone from a networking event?

ConnectMachine groups the contacts you met at the event with your notes and reminders, so you can work through the whole list and follow up with context.

### How do I remember what to say in a follow up?

Open the contact and your note about where you met and what you discussed is right there, so your follow-up message is specific to that conversation.

### Can I set reminders to follow up?

Yes. Set a reminder on each contact so you reach out at the right time and no one gets forgotten after the event.

### How soon should I follow up after an event?

Sooner is better, while the conversation is fresh. ConnectMachine keeps your notes ready so you can send a specific message within a day, not a generic one a week later.
