The Power of... Audience
The Power of Audience is the first webinar in our new series of four, where we aim to uncover the secrets to the four pillars of event success: audience, content, mobile and technology.
Audience engagement is one of the key outcomes of any event, and event managers are always looking for new ways to capture the attention of their switched-on attendees.
How can planners empower attendees through technology and experiences that matter?
The Power of Audience is the first webinar in our new series of four, where we aim to uncover the secrets to the four pillars of event success: audience, content, mobile and technology.
Created by C&IT and Cvent, we explore how technology is helping organisers engage their audience before, during and after the event. How can we put the control into the hands of the audience to create a personalised experience that allows them to get the most out of the event? What tools are available and how can planners respond to the latest trends?
We dive into:
- How to engage the next generation coming through – the elusive Gen Z’s
- How to sift through the technology and tools available to find the best to suit your audience’s needs
- How to put the control into the hands of the audience, to let them steer the content
