We're heading into peak conference season, which means it's time for a PSA: Event producers don't sell registration lists. Those people in your inbox hawking lists are full of it. If you want to reach event registrants you have two options: 1. attend the event 2. work with publishers officially affiliated with the event. This option won't get you full access, but it's better than buying a list off a cold email.

Want to steal the show with your next virtual event? It's about more than just planning an amazing experience; you need a spotlight-worthy promotion strategy to ignite excitement among potential attendees. ✨ We’ve outlined 9 easy ways to not only promote your event effectively but also to maximize attendance. Step into the spotlight with these top tactics! https://lnkd.in/g38wm_AZ.

Even some of the most prestigious events lack this ONE THING that causes attendance rates to remain low-- **a clear and concise abstract that details what will be learned during the event.** A speaker bio is great but it's not an abstract. A title is great, but it's not an abstract. I've written well over 200 abstracts in the last couple years and here is what makes attendees clamor for a seat: -What problem will this event solve for your audience? -What 3-5 things will the audience learn having attended? -Why is the speaker qualified to lead this event? (Keep this to 1-2 sentences.) -This should all fit into one brief paragraph. Have you ever registered for an event, attended and realized halfway through it wasn't what you expected? Don't let this happen to your audience. Write a killer abstract so they know what to expect. For more marketing tips and tricks, follow me, Sara Lutz ☀️.

8 Key Learnings from My First Large In-Person Event 🎉 1. Start a waitlist - Create urgency with supply and demand. 2. Gain experience from experts - Thank you Matt Matheson - The Speaking Coach. Working with you helped me to facilitate this day with ease. 3. The power of bringing people together is immense. 4. Set the foundation early - Welcome people personally prior to your event. 5. Venue matters - Sunshine, free parking, and easy access make a difference. 6. Have guest speakers - They add depth and different perspectives. Thank you Jane Johnson and Antje Langsch. You were amazing. 7. Lunch bonds people - Buffet style encourages mingling. 8. Close powerfully - People remember the end! "It's worse to spend your life on the outside looking in, wondering what if, than it is to try and dare greatly and risk the chance of failure. Dare greatly; get in the arena and try." Brene Brown The day was everything I wished it would be and more. Just booked the venue for Friday 8 November for an annual planning meet! Hold the date! 💞

If you want more attendees at your conference next year… here’s a way to guarantee it

Register now and share it for future generations in business.

I want one simple question added to all event registration pages: What is your intention for attending this event? Give me room to share my one true intention. Analyze it as you wish. And then deliver. That’s all. 😌
