Content MarketingFor Conferences, Meetings, and Events.

When organizations think about the conferences they produce, they usually spend most of their time focused entirely on the day of event!the speakers, the program, the venue, on-site factors.But great content, employed before, during, and after the event can amplify your organization's reach, influence, and attendance at every subsequent conference you produce.

Conferences are actually an incredibly rich form of content marketing.You are creating and presenting a huge amount of content in the form of keynote speakers, breakout sessions, and other presentations.

Those presentations can become webinars, videos, live streaming events, industry papers, infographics, social media content, and many other forms of multi-channel content.Perhaps, even more compelling is your customer content.Your conference attendees all have a story to tell and telling those stories online increases engagement and awareness.

Distributing your conference content strengthens your organization's brand and credibility, and positions it as a trusted industry resource, increasing momentum and awareness for future events.

What is Content Marketing?

• It is a strategy of creating and distributing information that builds trust and authority.
• It is a way to build relationships, loyalty and community — nurturing existing supporters, event attendees and exhibitors, and expand your organization's reach, influence, and conversion potential
• It is a strategy for becoming recognized as a thought leader in your industry.
• It is a way to drive event registrations and exhibitor sales without engaging in "hard sell" tactics.

Content without strategy gets lost in the billions of pages, posts, and tweets online.You can write, upload, publish — but it certainly does not mean your supporters will view it.To be successful online, your organization must map out where you're going, why you're going there, who you are trying to reach, the message you want to communicate, and what you want them to do when you reach them.

Why is content marketing so important to your Organization?

Today, content is what drives the internet.Telling your story is necessary to support your organization's mission.And there are obvious benefits in telling that story well.When the minds and hearts of your supporters are touched, a relationship is established.Less obvious, but equally important, is how content drives awareness and event registration's to your organization.

Content marketing is driven by one simple but powerful idea.If you produce and share useful, engaging, and moving content, your community will be more likely to register for your event and refer their friends and colleagues.

• Get visitors engaged.Strong content that resonates with your visitors will get prospects more interested in your organization.Once you've created a connection, it's more likely that a visitor will turn into an event attendee and get involved with your organization.
• Turn interest into action.Engaging content (videos, photos, infographics,leader tools,supporters' voices,supporter stories) will more likely trigger engagements and inspire visitors to take an action on your website!such signing up to volunteer, becoming a member, or purchasing tickets to an event.Your content fuels this engagement and plays an important role in getting your visitors to act.
• Search Engine Optimization.Search engines are focusing on creating the best possible user experience – showing search results that best answer peoples' queries.You are the expert in your industry on what your visitors are interested in.By creating content that answers those questions, you increase your chances of showing up on the first page of search results.
