Event  MarkeNng,    without  markeHng  the  event  

The  future  is…  

You’ll  no  longer  market  your  way  to  a  product  sale,  you’ll  now  facilitate  the  process  that  leads  to  it.  

Content  +  People  =  Content  MarkeNng  

All  content  is  now  digital    but  most  conferences  are  not  

Videos   Photos   PresentaNon   Reports   Documents  

Content  is  shared  by  the    crowd,  speakers,  organizers…  WHERE?  

You  need  to  aggregate,  structure  and  facilitate  content  markeNng  

That’s  what  Conferize  does  for  you  automaNcally  

Content  +  People  =  Content  MarkeNng  

Maybe  it  even  goes  VIRAL  

Social  based  plahorms  are  the  best  to  engage  people  and  facilitate  content  markeNng
