Write a blog post about what you learned at the conference or post on social media from there. Just having attended won't add much.

Follow up right away with the few people you really want a relationship with. Have a good system for capturing contact info, what you discussed, etc. QR codes are a cool alternative to paper cards.

Attend sessions on areas of marketing that you're not experienced in. Don't let yourself get boxed in as a content, SEO, or "performance" marketer (whatever that is). Master all aspects or you risk never getting promoted beyond your specific function. I was a good CMO because I understood enough about each area to lead a team of area experts.

Do you mean technical analysis of markets for trading and investing? 1. Remember that all technical indicators are lagging indicators. 2. The central truth you must accept is that markets have support and resistance levels and will respect them in one way or another. 3. Technical analysis is not for predicting market direction but for planning how you will control and manage risk. You don't need to predict to profit. With the above you can craft a consistently profitable strategy. Anything more is for showing off at parties or on YouTube.
