Why no follow-ups after expat events?

Got zero follow-ups after three expat events this month.
Signed up through the usual groups thinking the working visa crowd would click faster on shared headaches like paperwork and short leases, but everyone stuck to quick hellos then drifted back to their own circles or phones.

The visa crowd often stays surface-level at those bigger events because everyone’s focused on their own moves and the hellos feel more like networking checkboxes. Smaller repeat meetups around actual shared interests seem to cut through that quicker than the general expat mix.
