After the event
How to post on LinkedIn after an event without being boring
Most post-event posts read the same: a group photo and a thank-you. Here is the structure I use instead, with three of my own posts so you can see it working.
Real examples
Post-event template
Hook
[A shocking stat or fact from recent data in the event's niche]
Body
[Expand on that fact — what's actually happening in the industry, the money involved, why it matters]
[One more line connecting it to a bigger trend]
Bridge
[Connect the fact straight to the event, e.g. "This exact shift was the whole conversation at [event name]"]
Thanks to [host/organiser name] for putting it together.
Connections
[Name 1-2 people you met or spoke with, and what they're working on]
Close
[One line wrapping it up, optional question to drive comments]
Never write “I was honoured” or “it was a pleasure.” You gave them your time by showing up, and now you're giving them visibility by posting. Speak plainly, speak well of yourself — that's the psychology, not false modesty.
Always attach a photo from the event. Take it while you're there, don't rely on remembering afterward.
Connecting with people you met
1 — Reacting to something they posted or shared
Hey [name], saw your post on [topic], [one-line reaction]. Great to connect with you here.
2 — Referencing a recent update (new role, move, milestone)
Hey [name], congrats on [new role/move/achievement], [why it caught your eye]. Would be great to connect.
3 — Reacting to content they created (talk, interview, article)
Hey [name], just watched/read your [interview/talk/article], [specific detail that stood out]. Great to connect with you here.
