Creating Digital Event Experiences
Thursday, September 22, 2022
Welcome to the Digital Engagement Summit! Long before the pandemic thrust virtual events to the forefront, savvy marketers found great return on their investment in online gatherings. The new hybrid work reality, informed by the heavy use of the all-digital conference format during that time, requires digital marketing executives to think about new ways of engaging with their audiences and avoiding burnout–and boredom!
The tired old “webinar” format won’t suffice; however, online gatherings have become a permanent part of the way in which organizations engage their audiences. The Digital Engagement Summit will bring together experts from multiple disciplines, who will share their experiences and best practices for bringing people together online for community, networking, and business development.
In this welcome session, we’ll set the agenda for the day. The Summit will be a discussion between some of the brightest minds in B2B Marketing – both those on stage and in the audience; debating what the “next generation” of online content will look like, and how it will engage audiences better than ever before.
