Welcome to our first Events Special. For many publishers, not having a suite of events for each of their publishing brands would now be inconceivable. Your hard won, loyal customers trust you and want to spend their money with you, so not putting on events for them is effectively leaving money on the table.
Events come in all shapes and sizes, in person, online and hybrid. But… putting on an event requires a different set of skills which might not be second nature to most publishers. Therefore, it’s important to work out what constitutes best practice and to bake that into your approach.
That is the purpose of this special – to give you the chance to hear from leading events experts.
Join our contributors on Wednesday, 13 November for an ‘Events Special – Q&A’ webinar when you will have the opportunity to put questions to them.
