Event Success Through New Tools & Technologies
Events have changed. The challenges involved with marketing them, sponsoring them, or simply figuring out which to attend, have been transformed. New technologies are rewriting the rules and we are all playing catch up.
Please join us for our second annual interactive core conversation to explore best practices, case studies and new tools for succeeding with live events.
We will once again bring together top event producers, sponsors and technologists in a conversation about how these new tools can increase the success of our events, both for those that put them on, and for those that attend.
Please see my blog post at www.buildingalliances.com/blog for additional background on the challenges we see this session addressing and our invited guests, who are on the front lines of implementing truly successful new technology-based solutions.
