Events have enormous potential – from both a revenue and ROI perspective and an attendee experience perspective. The problem is that many organizations are wasting that opportunity by not thinking intentionally and creatively about how to engage attendees during the experience.
This micro-course will help you discover the potential in your event – what it could be doing but isn’t – and apply different audience engagement tools and strategies to move more quickly toward impact for your company and the audience.
Learning Objectives
As a result of this micro-course, you will be able to:
- Generate a more engaging, intentional event design
- Implement strategies for identifying your event’s potential, purpose, and audience
- Use the provided 360 Media templates to identify opportunities and solve challenges. (While provided throughout the course, these templates are also available for download in the last module.)
