Our niche is in electrical power systems. We're moving to Germany for a few months this European Summer to build some relationships and learn more about how things are run (compared to Australia). This is the procedure we've been following to make contacts before we leave:

- Find local (Australian) companies with a presence or relationship in Germany - Take their senior engineers or managers out for coffee (a phone call or email invitation normally does the trick) - Talk to them about their experiences with Germany and ask who they'd recommend we contact there. - Send an email to their contact, explain that we'll be in their town on X dates would they like to meet?

In your situation. You've found a job fair participant; what do you do next?
