If you are going to Effective Altruism Global and looking to book 1-on-1s, here is a trick: Throw the entire attendee list into Claude, explain to it what you want to gain from the conference, and ask it to make a list of people to reach out to.
I expect this also works for other conferences so long as you have an easily parseable overview of all attendees.
There is usually a Google Sheet export of the Swapcard data provided, which makes this easier—but at previous conferences other attendees were apprehensive when informed that people were doing this
