Transformative Events - Marketing is Your Partner

In episode 30 we dive into... how do you make sure your event marketing spend produces real results? Creating an experience takes more than blinky lights. Your attendees need to feel something and achieve their goals (or your goals) for the event. We define experiential events and explore topics such as mindfulness, engaging all five senses, empathy for attendees, and making sponsorships more valuable to the sponsors and participants.

There are lots of ways to transform your events, and we explore them all on this show. Our guests are talented event designers and we’re excited to share their knowledge with you.
