Most effective way to write a note on Linkedin?

I met a few representatives from that came down to the university for a presentation and networking event and spoke to them for a short period. I wanted to follow up with sending through a connection and was wondering whether to add a note and what to include in those notes? I understand directors and a heads of divisions would be very busy so is adding a note even a good idea? I am quite fresh to networking and want to learn the etiquette and unwritten rules that exist so I would appreciate any tips or templates people generally use and stick to

So its not weird to find their email using systems? Or how do you go about getting their email and stuff. Just cold emailing someone might seem odd in my viewpoint if I never introduced myself and then thinking how did i find their work or personal email, currently in the networking process... some say linkedin is best but idk
