Some suggestions to increase engagement, brand awareness or leads at conference

• Conference hashtag & linking to social media – capture an audience that you may not usually
• Mailing Lists – encourage passers-by to add their name or business card with a competition or voucher
• Games & Competitions – after a long day of being spoken to, a light-hearted challenge or piece of trivia is a great way to engage, plus everyone wants a new tablet or smart phone!
• Consumer Education – if you have a great product and it fits a need, they will buy it.
• Pre-conference marketing – reach out to specific roles among ACFID members – e.g. Finance or HR Managers
• New Product Launch – generate buzz around a new product you have by inviting your target market to a ‘side event’ or sponsored session. You could even request to hold a ‘Private Session’ with specific roles only in attendance.
