Creative in a Web 2.0 world

Running one successful marketing event is an accomplishment, but how do you continue to grow it year on year without compromising on results?

More importantly, with growing concern over the damage organisations are having on the environment, how do you achieve growth in a sustainable way that limits the harm our events have on the planet?

Growing your events is just as crucial to success as the environment is and going 'greener' can help you do just that without heavily impacting costs. It can be a challenge, but definitely one worth taking on.

Join this webinar to learn how you can:

1. Build a scalable events process
2. Use the best technologies to find efficiencies
3. Reduce your environmental impact whilst minimising costs
4. Develop a process to maximise repeat-ability

1. How to align procurement with your bid
2. How to challenge everyone involved in the bid process
3. How to be disruptive and make it part of your successful sales strategy

- Content map
