Post-event content is a crucial, yet overlooked part of event planning. Many organizers will consider their job to be done as soon as the last participant leaves the venue. In actuality, that moment is when the next event promotion starts. The content you produce after your show is over can take up many different forms. Even the simplest of them, like a blog post recap, will provide a nice closure to the conference.

To most outsiders (not us planners), the event start is usually the time the ballroom doors open. To us, it starts at the first drop of creative materials.

Every day, technology is changing and evolving. So are our perceptions about technology. For example, we used to believe that if we implemented new event technology attendees would use it – an “if you build it they will come” mentality. We now realize that this, unfortunately, isn’t the case. In fact, building out the app is the easy part. Getting your attendees to download and engage with your app is where the work comes in.
