Top Five Things To Consider for a B2B Event

In the post-pandemic world, the B2B event landscape has shifted so much that it might be challenging to keep track of what still works, what doesn’t work anymore and what new trends you’d do well to keep an eye out for. If you’re looking to organise one such event, we’ve got four key points you must consider when preparing.

Purpose is paramount

Organising an event just for its sake or because you feel it’s overdue is not always reasonable. It would be best if you had a clear purpose for looking to engage with clients, both new, existing and potential ones. Set your key objectives and measure how successful you were after the event.

All according to plan

Even the best of plans can go awry sometimes, so you can imagine what disasters await if a program is not followed, or even worse, not correctly formed. Consider if the event requires entertainment, what type of host or guest speaker you might need and whether you’d need to leverage their popularity in the industry to attract more guests.

The key here is to create a unique experience that puts your guests in a good mood, and the best way to do this is to plan and execute that plan according to a timeline. Then, read the room to understand if you need to speed things up or slow them down.

Audience awareness

Once you’ve sorted your purpose and plan, identifying who your audience needs to be is the next natural step. Understand what amps up the excitement in promoting the event before it takes place and what engages them during the event itself; this will help you generate the leads you want.

Promote your event on the channels where your audience is present; social media, newsletters and phone calls are just a few examples of how to go about raising awareness around your event.

Find the perfect place

Location is vital both in terms of the physical space and the digital. There’s no escaping the pandemic’s effects on event organisation, so if you don’t have the possibility for online attendees, you might be missing out on potential leads. One of the most important things to be is interactive, in-person or online, so having the necessary structures, furniture and connectivity platforms can make or break your event.

Encourage conversations and discussions that could outlast the event; it’s a sign that what you’re pushing is engaging them.
