Getting attendees to your conference has always been important, but now more than ever, how we spend our time has become even MORE important. With that, Event Marketing is crucial to an event’s success. Are you marketing your event to the right audience? Are you marketing your event in a way that will entice attendees and exhibitors to attend? Does your organization have the bandwidth to effectively market your events? Join us October 26th to learn what’s changed and what’s important now with Event Marketing.

Enough is Enough Already

Are you doing more with a lot less when it comes to your event marketing? Are you marketing your event to the right audience?

There is already so much to do when working to execute an event, but how we market the event to attendees has become increasingly just as critical. Join this session to look at how to demonstrate the “why” for attendees to attend, tactics to drive event attendance and knowing when it’s time to bring in some help.
