People buy people. We all know that. So you need to create opportunities for them to interact with you. But putting on the kind of events they experience in their personal lives can be daunting, whether it’s for 12 or 12,000.
You want the buzz of ideas that will revolutionize your company, not an awkward networking event. You want keynote speeches that go viral, not cringe-worthy PowerPoint presentations. Above all, you want happy attendees. And when it’s done, you’d like to use data science to analyze the real return on investment.
