EPISODE 4

Designing a Digital-First Strategy for Your Events

OVERVIEW

Times have changed. As people get accustomed to the new working arrangements, the line between professional and personal lives gets blurred. Events and meetings have evolved from in-person to virtual, disrupting the way organisations market their events and understand their attendees’ needs.

So how can event marketers adapt to the digital-first culture and help organisations stay competitive?

Event Exchange invites Shawn Cheng, Senior Strategist at DAHLIA+ Agency, to talk about a digital-first strategy, its importance, and how to apply it.
