5 ways to let the world know you're going to Event Tech Live London 2026
If you're going to announce your attendance, why not have a little fun with it?
You're going to Event Tech Live London this November. Great! But have you told anyone yet?
Your LinkedIn connections, industry peers, potential clients, partners and the people you've been meaning to catch up with all need to know you'll be there.
A simple post will do the job. But if you're going to announce your attendance, why not have a little fun with it?
Whether you're attending, speaking or exhibiting, here are five ways to announce your ETL London 2026 plans. Some take barely a minute. Others give you an opportunity to make a proper impression.
1. The classic LinkedIn announcement
Time required: 1.5 minutes or lesser
Let's start with the obvious.
Open LinkedIn, write a quick post saying "I'm attending Event Tech Live", along with the hashtag #ETL2026. Don't forget to tag ETL as well. Done.
It's easy, takes barely any time and gets the message out there.The downside? It's also what everyone else is doing.
If you're short on time, this works perfectly well. But if you want your announcement to stand out in a busy LinkedIn feed, try one of the next options.
2. Make it a comeback with a personalised ETL poster
Time required: 2 minutes approx
Been to Event Tech Live before? You already have something most first-time attendees don't: photos from your last visit.
Put one of those photos to work.
Create an "I'm heading back to ETL 2026" poster featuring a personalised photo from last year's event. It's a great way to bring back a memory, announce your return and give your network a reason to start a conversation.
It's also more personal than a standard event announcement. Your photo makes it yours, and the throwback gives people something familiar to connect with.
The message: I'm heading back. Are you?

3. Turn your announcement into a full-on carousel
Time required: 3–5 minutes
Best for: Speakers and exhibitors
If you're speaking or exhibiting at ETL, don't stop at announcing that you're attending. Tell people what you'll actually be doing there.
A personalised carousel gives you room to share more than one update.
As an exhibitor, talk about what you're showcasing, who visitors can meet and what they can expect at your stand.
As a speaker, introduce your session, share what you'll be discussing and give people a reason to add it to their agenda.
Think of it as a mini campaign for your ETL appearance, rather than just another announcement post.
Because if you're putting in the effort to exhibit or speak, your promotion should do more than say, "I'll be there."

4. Give yourself the cover-story treatment with AI avatars
Time required: 2 minutes
Best for: Anyone who likes a little extra attention
What if your ETL announcement looked less like an event poster and more like a magazine cover?
Or a billboard announcing your arrival?
AI avatars make it possible to reimagine your photo in creative, personalised styles. You could give yourself a magazine-cover moment, a larger-than-life billboard or a completely new visual identity for your ETL announcement.
It's a fun way to add some personality to your post, get people talking and make your announcement stand out.
After all, if the event industry is where you belong, why not announce your arrival like one of its greats?
5. Register for your event photos before you arrive
Time required: Less than 1 minute to register
Here's one you should sort out before the event.
Register to receive your photos at Event Tech Live.
Once you're at the venue, professionally taken photos of you can be matched to you and delivered digitally, ready to view and share. No hunting through hundreds of event pictures or waiting until someone sends them over.
You can get your photos while the event is still happening, share them on LinkedIn and let your network know you're there.
It's also a great way to keep the conversations going after the event.
A little preparation before ETL means content ready to share while you're still there.

So, how are you announcing your ETL appearance?
A quick LinkedIn post will get the job done. But a personalised poster, a carousel or an AI avatar can make your announcement a lot more interesting.
And don't forget to register for your event photos before you arrive.
