Mastering the Art of Networking at London Tech Week & The AI Summit

How to Navigate the App, Make the Most of Every Moment, and Lead with Impact

As someone leading panels, hosting meetings, and building international partnerships. I am really looking forward to London Tech Week 2025 and The AI Summit, I’ve had to become strategic — not just about what I attend, but how I show up.

This isn’t just an event — it’s a stage. And like any stage, you need to know your marks.

Here’s how I’ve been using the event apps to prep, connect, and elevate every opportunity — so you can do the same 👇🏽

🔐 Before You Dive In: Access the Right Event

  • When you log in to the event app, head to the Upcoming Event section and select London Tech Week 2025 (or AI Summit).

  • ✅ Tip: Confirm you're viewing the correct event !

📲 Key App Features You Shouldn't Skip

🛡 Code of Conduct

Bottom left of the app.

🔍 Double-check this to make sure you're aligned with the event's expectations — especially if you're speaking, pitching, or hosting meetings.

🗺️ Map & Venue Tools

Navigating Tobacco Dock and the wider venue areas? The Map tab is a game-changer.
Use this alongside the Fringe Events tab for after-hours meetups and CPD-accredited sessions.

📆 My Schedule & Availability

Toggle your availability for meetings under My Schedule.

If you’re like me — running back-to-back sessions — this keeps your time organised and open for collaboration.

🤝 Connect & Matchmaking

  • Use AI Recommendations to find aligned contacts.

  • Bookmark companies or individuals for easier follow-up.

  • There’s a 24-hour acceptance window for meetings — stay on top of it!

📌 Sponsors & Exhibitors

Browse by Headliner, Tier, or Category.
Bookmark the ones you want to meet with and use the agenda filters to align with their presentations.

🧭 QR Code = Your Digital Handshake

Download and screenshot your QR Code.
It’s your fastest tool for connecting at speed without fumbling for LinkedIn.

🗣 Question Box

Engage during panels by submitting your questions via Slido within the app.
You’ll find options per stage: Main Stage, Impact Stage, Innovation Stage, and more.

💡 Personalise & Optimise Your Profile

✍️ Edit Your Profile & “About Me”

This is prime real estate.
You get up to 5,000 characters — don’t waste it.

Share who you are, who you help, what problems you solve, and what you're looking for.

Note: Profile info pulls from your original registration — if it's incorrect, contact the organisers to update.

Make sure they’re accurate to maximise relevant invitations and partnership offers.

🤖 The AI Summit App (Bonus Tips)

Attending the AI Summit portion of the week? Here's what to look out for:
