1. Three New Ways to Engage Your Event Sponsors

The relationship you have with your event sponsors and exhibitors is changing. With the now-indispensable mobile apps that help your attendees explore the event, you can deliver compelling, measurable benefits for your sponsors.

But you need their help. Helping sponsors understand that they need to engage with attendees, and making it easy, is the key to a warm planner/sponsor relationship.

You’ll learn:

• Use digital data when selling to event sponsors
• Hold your event sponsors accountable (they’re OK with it!)
• Tap into human motivation with in-app gamification, and watch your sponsors connect with attendees. (Want more on this? We wrote a whole article on event app games and how to make them effective.)
• Share real-time feedback data so event sponsors can optimize during the event
• Get the most out of digital banner ads

You want to build strong relationships with your sponsors. Promoting attendee-sponsor interaction is the key.
