Hi Michael,
It was such a pleasure to meet you at the RW Networking Event yesterday. Thank you so much for your time and for sharing your stories about how you broke into product management - such valuable insight as I start my own career journey!
If it's OK with you, could we stay in contact if I have any questions?
Thanks again!

Sending a LinkedIn request after a networking event
Email Subject: LinkedIn connection request
Hey Jackie,
Thank you for taking the time to present at the networking event! And thank you for speaking with me for a few minutes post your presentation.
It was great to learn how you grew Polyhire and scaled it to millions of users in just a year. So impressive.
If it's OK with you, would it be possible if we could stay in touch over LinkedIn?
Cheers,
Stephanie A.
