Step-by-Step Guide

1

Create an Event Tag

Before or during the event, create a tag with the event name (e.g., 'CES 2025' or 'TechCrunch Disrupt').

Tip: Include the year in the tag name for easy reference later
2

Tag Contacts as You Meet Them

When scanning a card or adding a contact, apply the event tag immediately.

Tip: The NexaLink Scanner can auto-apply a default tag during batch scanning
3

Add Sub-Tags for Context

Use additional tags like 'hot lead,' 'potential partner,' or 'speaker' for finer organization.

Tip: Limit yourself to 3-4 tags per contact to keep things manageable
4

Create a Smart Group

Set up a smart group that automatically collects all contacts with the event tag.

Tip: Smart groups update automatically as you add new tagged contacts
5

Use the Group for Follow-Up

Filter by your event smart group to send targeted follow-ups or export for email campaigns.

Tip: Sort by priority tag to follow up with hot leads first
