I'm trying to email someone pretty high up in a company and want him to
remember who I am.

**Edit:** I met him briefly at a trade show. We exchanged business cards and
spoke for less than five minutes.

Should I use:

お目にかかりました

or, what I think is probably more appropriate, an expression using some kind
of 授受表現 like

お目にかからせていただきました

お会いしていただきました

お会いさせていただきました

or something similar? I have a feeling there's a kanji word for this kind of
situation, but I don't know what it is.

keigo
How can I say "we met at x event" politely in an email?
if you really 'met' him, like greeting and not just saw him from far away you
could say something like:

```

    ご挨拶させて頂きました。
    ご紹介させて頂きました。
    
```

etc.

I think the best choice would be:

> ({先日 / [date] に} [event]で) お目にかかりました

I think this would also work:

> ご挨拶させていただきました

These sound a bit awkward to me:

>   * お目にかからせていただきました
>   * お会いしていただきました
>   * お会いさせていただきました
