15. HOW WILL YOU CONVERT LEADS FROM EVENTS?
• Events have a huge opportunity to contribute to revenue.
• But marketers are failing to leverage data from events to
move customers through the buying cycle.
o Not engaging
o Not personalized
o Not interactive
• Data-driven marketers need to ask themselves how will
they convert their leads from events.
• That question should be asked before the event even starts
