Kitâs answer was very good and I agree with all of it, especially âmake sure they have something to remember you byâ. A physical thing they can put in their pocket, like a business-card-sized-thing or a small/âfoldable pamphlet, seems good to have available.
Iâd recommend editing your answer to make your relationship with the conference more clear. Are you involved in venture capital or some other branch of finance? If so, itâs probably good to start off with that in conversations, rather than leading on the fact that you want to talk about charity. If you want a fun venture fact for these conversations, you could mention that 80,000 Hours and CEA both went through Y Combinator and/âor talk about the rapid growth of Foundersâ Pledge.
Donât be afraid to let people go if they donât seem interested. The card/âpamphlet idea I mentioned above is good for thisâallows a conversation to break up âpolitelyâ as they take something and you leaveâor you can think of a good âscriptâ for what to say when you donât think the other person is engaged. You wonât have time to talk to everyone even if you move fast (I assume), so thereâs no loss in cycling through people quickly until you hit someone who âgets itâ and wants to hear more.
