Conference and Event Planning

Marketing Strategies

Before you’re ready to get the word out about your conference or event, let’s strategize. We’ll help you identify key audiences and establish goals to reach them.

Your event or subject matter may have a broad or very highly targeted appeal. Being realistic about that appeal is critical when budget dollars are at risk. Identify and invest in audiences that should deliver a high return.

Next, consider your desired end result. Whether you’re showcasing scholarship, research or innovation — or spreading awareness about your organization — develop a strategy that’s based on your goals. When appropriate, plan to interact with another important audience: the media.
