Why LinkedIn Events?
The beauty of this campaign type is that you can reach out to event attendees, whether they're connected to you or not. It's a game-changer for expanding your network and making meaningful connections.
🚨 Important Update as of January 2025
LinkedIn recently updated its messaging rules for Events:
Event organizers can privately message any attendee, even if they aren’t connected.
Event attendees can only message their 1st-degree connections.
But don’t worry! Meet Alfred is rolling out a hotfix to align with this change so your campaigns continue to run smoothly. Learn more about this update here.
To access this option, click the 'Create' button in your MeetAlfred account and select 'LinkedIn Event Campaign'.
How It Works
Find Your Event: Start by searching for the LinkedIn event that piques your interest.
Click the 'Attend' button.
Grab the Event Link: Now, copy the URL or link to the event.
Head back to your Meet Alfred account and paste the URL in the field on your screen.
Adjust your preferences: Feel free to tweak the maximum number of leads you want to fetch in this campaign. It's all about making it work for you.
Click 'Next'.
Start building your campaign by adding different steps to the sequence.
Engage with Profiles: Visit profiles, like posts, and auto-follow leads to create connections.
Invite 1st-Degree Connections to attend an event: Automate sending invitations to your 1st-degree connections, inviting them to attend an event you're hosting or attending.
Message Attendees (for Event Organizers): If you're hosting the event, send direct messages to attendees outside your network to connect with new people.
Note on Messaging Limitations - Due to LinkedIn’s latest update as of January 2025:
If you're an event organizer, you can message any attendee.
If you're attending an event, you can only message your 1st-degree connections.
Your messages are fully customizable. Get creative with personalization values or use templates to save time and effort.
9. Set your delays: You can decide how long you'd like to wait before triggering the next step.
10. Give your campaign a name.
11. When you're ready to launch your campaign, click 'Publish.'
