Event Marketing: Enhancing Your Event Experience During Travel

When planning an event at a venue, you can also consider how to provide value and engagement to attendees throughout their entire journey, including the travel to and from the venue. By incorporating elements of your event into the travel experience, you can create a more memorable and valuable experience for your audience. Here are some ideas:

Provide your attendees with access to exclusive pre-event content that they can consume during their travel. This could include:

-        Audio recordings of speaker interviews or panel discussions

-        Podcasts featuring event organizers discussing the event's themes and objectives

-        Playlists of music related to the event's theme or location

By offering this content in an audio format, attendees can easily access it while traveling. This helps build anticipation and excitement for the event while also providing value to attendees during their journey.

Provide interactive elements that attendees can access during their travel. For example:

-        A trivia game related to the event's theme or location

-        Encouraging attendees to explore their surroundings and share photos

-        A social media challenge where attendees can share their travel experiences and connect with other attendees

-        A virtual tour of the event venue or host city

-        A preview of the event's main attractions or activities

-        An immersive experience related to the event's theme or content

These interactive elements not only keep attendees engaged but also foster a sense of community and excitement leading up to the event.

Provide opportunities for networking to attendees during their travel by:

-        Organizing a pre-event meetup at the airport or train station

-        Providing a dedicated chat channel for attendees to connect with each other

-        Encouraging attendees to share their travel experiences and connect with others using specific event hashtags on social media

By facilitating these networking opportunities, you can help attendees make connections and build relationships even before the event begins, enhancing the overall experience.

Putting elements of your event into the travel experience should be done in a way that adds value and enhances the attendee journey and can be done/accessed safely by your audience without interfering with how they are travelling to and from the venue. Avoid overwhelming attendees with too much content or activities, and focus on providing engaging, relevant, and accessible experiences that complement the main event.
