Biggest Takeaways

Make time to attend and see other events that are considered innovators and leaders. If you cannot attend, follow them on Instagram or Facebook and see what they’re doing from afar - as you can learn a lot from their approach.
Events are becoming more and more experiential in nature so we as event directors and marketers need to think about how we are providing an exceptional experience at every step of the customer journey.
Focus on relationship building within the event industry. Always introduce yourself and build your network as these connections turn into valuable relationships that fuel growth.
