I'm Awkward, But This Podcast Event Networking Strategy Saved Me | B2B On Air

Networking at conferences is brutal if you're introverted. Joseph Lewin, The Podcast Launch Guy, who has helped launch 45 B2B podcasts and whose hosts have closed over $17M in revenue, breaks down the exact podcast event networking strategy he uses to walk into any room already connected. You'll leave with a repeatable pre-event outreach system that builds pipeline before you ever step on the conference floor.

What You'll Learn:

• Start outreach 3 months before an event so you can interview up to 12 speakers before you arrive.

• How to invite a keynote speaker by positioning your podcast as free promotion for their session.

• Why breakout session speakers who paid for their slots are often the highest-value relationships at any conference.

• How to book dinners and meetings before the event starts using podcast rapport as your opening.

• Why producing content people actually want to hear means attendees approach you first, so you never have to cold-interrupt a group conversation again.

• How to use a podcast invitation as your go-to follow-up tool instead of pushing a sales demo on someone you just met.
