Our conference learning spaces affect our audience. We must learn to think like designers. Then we can focus on changing our conference participants’ learning spaces with the right goal in mind—nurturing their learning. Be forewarned! We are not decorating learning spaces. We are designing them to foster, nurture and amplify our participants’ learning.

As a marketer, if you’re asked to develop an email marketing campaign to help your company achieve a specific goal (more leads, MQLs, and/or pipeline, for example) and show how that campaign performed, you’d probably feel comfortable doing so. That’s what marketers do, after all, and you’d likely have plenty of data and tools you could leverage to help you develop a strategic campaign.

Whatever kind of event you are hosting, you need people to attend. This is especially true when the event is open, meaning that you don’t need an invitation to attend, you just need to either buy a ticket or RSVP (depending on the type of event that you are hosting). To get people to attend your event, you first need to get the word out. You need people to know beforehand when, where, and what your event is about.
