An event doesn't end when the lights go out. It is often at this precise moment that everything really starts.
Participants go home with their heads full of ideas, your partners are still talking about your brand and your teams are catching their breath. But if nothing is done to maintain this momentum, this energy goes out, slowly but surely.
The secret of brands that make an impression?
They know how to extend the conversation, transform the experienced moment into a sustainable strategy and conceive the post-event as a key step in their customer journey, not as a simple formality.
Event marketing experts, from TED to Salesforce Live, share the same approach: think about follow-up even before the big day.
