7.45am - 8.45am - Registration & Breakfast 

Join us for breakfast on the 12th of September at the Business Design Center (BDC) in London, where we will launch the 2023 edition of the Conference Buyer’s Guide. Hear from industry experts as they delve into the profound impact of AI on the events landscape, exploring its current applications, future possibilities, and the cautionary considerations that come with it.

In the ever-evolving landscape of events and conferences, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force.

Through this panel discussion, speakers will shine a spotlight on the present-day use cases and applications of AI in conferences. From optimising planning workflows and amplifying sales and marketing strategies to fostering unparalleled audience engagement and measuring return on investment, discover how AI is revolutionising the way we plan, execute, and evaluate events.

Alongside the positive impact, our panellists will engage in candid conversations about the ethical, security, and privacy concerns tied to the deployment of AI in conferences. They will navigate the pitfalls and challenges that need to be addressed to harness AI's power responsibly.

Due to limited space, a registration approval process has been implemented, and successful applicants will be notified by email.

The future of lead generation at exhibitions

To most, 30 touches in a sales cadence is harassment. However, when each touch is thoughtful, you are helping to solve problems and not harassing. 

We combine high levels of research of company trigger events with phone calls, LinkedIn voice notes, personalised videos, emails and even SMS/WhatsApp for warm leads to drive pipeline. 

We found the highest levels of conversion come either between touches 1-10 or 20-30 and in this discussion, we will talk about why and run through some examples.

Growth Genie is a consultancy firm that empowers B2B sales teams to have better conversations through playbooks, cadences, training and coaching. Some results it has driven for its clients include cutting sales cycles in half, doubling the average deal size and going from 100% inbound to having 50% of pipeline generated from outbound.

The 30 Touch Sales Cadence that Converts More Leads

Are your marketing efforts falling on deaf ears? Perhaps the drastic movements in our industry have left your sales database in tatters. The most common weakness in event tech marketing is its lack of understanding with the different buying personas who operate within the event market.

By attending this session, you’ll get a breakdown of the different event buying customers – get a better understanding of what’s happened to them during the last 18 months, where to find them and understand their challenges. This will arm your sales and marketing teams with the knowledge you need to speak to your audience and engage with your target event and marketing professional buyers better.
