Leveraging Your Web Site with
Social Networking
How bringing people together can benefit you, your attendees and your sponsors
by David Coleman, Vice President of Marketing, Confabb.com
Are you looking to improve attendance at your next conference, tradeshow or event? Or a new way to ensure attendees return to your event year after year? Of course, you are!
Years ago, most organizers simply put up static Web sites showing event details. But today’s conference and event Web sites are more dynamic, allowing registrants and speakers to talk with each other about issues, ideas and even the meeting itself.
The new technologies that support these interactions and this additional value are called “social networking.” And the relationships they promote can greatly increase the value of your event to you — and your attendees.

Welcome to the latest issue of Event Organizer’s eJournal — the newsletter that focuses on helping event organizers, planners and producers increase attendance, delight attendees and make more money at their events.
When the Internet became the next “big thing,” many event professionals were
smart enough to get Web sites up and running. But the Internet isn’t a static
thing, and your Web site shouldn’t be either. Today’s travelers on the
information highway are looking for sites that provide all the information they
need — plus a whole lot more. How can you stay ahead of this “curve” in the
road, if you have a limited budget and no techie at your disposal?
In this month’s
feature article, David Coleman of Confabb explains the concept of
social networking, how you can employ it on your Web site and how bringing
people together this way can boost your events’ perceived value and attendance.
Be sure to check out this very informative article.
Last month, a reader asked for suggestions on handling an awkward situation —
a spouse who’d made some unfortunate remarks to the boss at the holiday party.
See what your counterparts have to
say. This month, an event manager is
looking for some help with her company going “green.” If you know anything about
making this kind of transition — or have an experience to share,
she’d
appreciate your input.
If you have a dilemma of your own or any advice on
how we can make our
newsletter more relevant to your business, please let us know. Your
comments are always appreciated!
