What I have done in the past when I was attending an event as an attendee and not a guest is have business cards ready with a free download link on the back. If your books are available on Smashwords, you can set up a discount code and have it printed on the back of the card. It is a nuanced way of offering someone a comp copy of your book without them feeling uncomfortable. And since London is a seriously B2B event, business cards would be more appropriate than the typical bookmarks or postcards authors use as handouts.
Other than that, just takes lots of pictures to share with us.

If you have a Wednesday or Sunday night spare in London and are looking for something to do for entertainment- then I heartily recommend that you go and see The Comedy Store Players http://www.comedystoreplayers.com/
It won't help you to sell books, but it's a great night out!

KDP are going to be there at Booth V555
I'm having cards made now! And I will take tons of photos. Probably with me making goofy faces in most of them if I can manage it. That'll make a good impression.Bards and Sages (Julie) said:Make sure to mention your close, personal friendship with Hugh Howey to impress people.

Yes. I need to do that. Thank you!Vivi_Anna said:My BFF Steena Holmes is going as well. She hit it big with her indie book Finding Emma. She's speaking on a few panels. One with Mark Coker and Mark from Kobo. You should look her up.

Could you drop by Buckingham Palace and say "Hi" to the queen for me? Have a great time!
Have a great time!
I'll be wandering around there, too. I started a thread over in the Not Quite Kindle of things to see and do in London and got some GREAT suggestions.

I envy you. Have a pint! I've provided services for a company in the UK for over 5 years now, but I've never been. Oh, yeah, have fun
