Today we’re sharing articles about content marketing, post-event evaluations and exhibitor marketing. And scroll down for posts about the value of print pieces – print is evolving, not disappearing!
#8 should really be #1 – relax. There are a number of ways you can engage and promote your conference to both attendees and non-attendees:
- Repurpose show daily content in association publications, blogs and emails
- Use show daily articles to promote upcoming events, webinars, etc.
- Create highlight montages – emails, PDFs/digital issues
- Create photo albums for social media, website, etc.
- If your conference has tracks or niche groups, create post-conference emails and marketing pieces that showcase sessions and events that directly relate to their interests.
There are many great take-aways from this article:
- Use your show daily to raise brand awareness by showcasing your conference’s education sessions.
- Do you sell session recordings? Be sure to promote this in your show daily – include a house ad and/or have a box with standard language that appears at the end of session recap articles.
- Send out emails focused on a particular topic covered at the conference: include links to related show daily articles, feature an attendee Q&A that shows who did attend and promote publications and upcoming events.
