Hosting an on-line community for your event can provide incredible value to your attendees: attendees meet and mingle months beforehand and stay in touch long after the event is over. It can also provide great value to your brand by creating a "sticky" relationship with your attendees.
But healthy communities don't just build themselves. A poorly tended community can languish like an empty room, or, worse, poorly behaved or rude members can become disruptive and cast a shadow on the community as a whole, and, by extension, your brand. This webinar will outline a set of best practices to ensure that your attendees connect with each other actively and politely before your event and stay engaged even after your event is over. We will cover a set of rules developed over time by experienced community managers as well as illustrate them with examples from community managers and event planners. |
