Hi! I'm Lumi — let's practice this out loud 🎙️

English for networking events and conferences

A conference, a meetup, a coffee break — at English networking events, a good intro opens doors. Here are the phrases to introduce yourself, break the ice and swap contacts without freezing up. Practice out loud and the tutor corrects your pronunciation.

Key phrases

Hi, I'm Marco. Nice to meet you.
The universal opener — works at any event.
What do you do?
Classic networking question about someone's job.
What brings you to the conference?
A better icebreaker than talking about the weather.
That sounds really interesting — tell me more.
Shows genuine interest and keeps them talking.
Are you on LinkedIn? Let's connect.
The standard way to swap professional contacts.
It was great meeting you. Let's keep in touch.
A warm sign-off before you both move on.
I'll follow up with an email next week.
The move that turns a contact into a real opportunity.

Tip: "What do you do?" asks about your job, not what you're doing right now. Answer "I'm a designer" or "I work in marketing", not "I'm drinking coffee".
