My experience has been like the others here. I’ve texted: “Hi [PROVIDER NAME]. We met in DFW at the [HOTEL NAME and PLACE]. I’ll be in your town in a week and a half. I’d love to meet up again. I’ll be staying at [Location]. I’d love to meet up again if you’re still available.” I’ve had about a 25-33% success rate at that. Most of the time I don’t get any response at all. I’ve had an “I don’t do that anymore” and a version of “I’m unable to do that now” and a few “I moved away and don’t live there anymore” responses. The successful reconnections have been great though.
