Good meeting you at [event]

Body

Hi [First Name],

Enjoyed our conversation at [event] — particularly your take on [specific topic they talked about].

You mentioned [thing they're working on / struggling with]. That reminded me of [useful thing: an article, an intro, a tool, a lesson from your own work] — [link or one-line offer].

If it'd be useful to continue the conversation, I'm happy to grab 20 minutes in the next couple of weeks. No agenda beyond [shared interest].

Either way — good luck with [their project].

Best, [Your Name]
