One of the key reasons people blog is because we want to share dialogue, and often it seems a little one way, which is why all bloggers love comments.
What is even better than a comment though, is when it expands, and in this case, a blog post I wrote is now the topic of this webinar, thanks to the forward thinking people at Invision. Rod Mickels, the CEO of this engaging organization read this post, and had his marketing team reach out to invite me to share ideas - and the result is here. http://blogazine.iv.com
The shifts we looked at include
1. Data. The internet is 20 years old, and my how things have changed.
2. Meritocracy. "I want to align my experiences with my individual sense of purpose." How are you showing your guests your event / organization IS the best choice?
3. Hyper Connectivity. How can we use the reality that our participants are always on line to our advantage? Why should we be using hybrid meetings? How is S'Mobility affecting our marketing, planning and execution?
4. Global Content. Content is available all the time, around the world and accessible to everyone and we have a new Generation - Google's Gen C - who are using primarily video content to create and curate their own connections and build their own communities. How can your content stand out when we upload 48 hours of content to YouTube every hour? (not to mention all the other channels available) How are you creating your own thought leadership and sharing this with your clients, members and future potential of each of these?
How can we create better environments for learning, participating, connecting, and yes, building our own communities with the tools available to us? There are many ways, each unique to the objectives of your event - let's share those ideas!
