Update your CV and LinkedIn profile before the event so you can quickly share them with company representatives if needed. This way, you’ll be ready to respond to recruitment calls or other contacts right after the event. Also, be prepared to give a short and concise elevator pitch about yourself, as some companies may conduct quick interviews during the event.
