For event organizers looking to fill seats and improve attendance, a good and discoverable event listing is the holy grail. Whether that be planning an academic conference or even something as leisurely as a baking community meetup, the way you present your event online can either make or break your registration numbers.
Attending an international academic conference should feel like finding your tribe and not wandering through a crowd of strangers hoping someone notices your research. According to EDU Ledger, approximately 4.5 million researchers worldwide present their work at academic conferences each year. Pointing at this substantial figure, the reality of these events has become increasingly hit-or-miss. Continue reading
It is essential to recognize the critical role that search engine optimization (SEO) plays in effectively promoting events. If you are not yet acquainted with its advantages, it is crucial to explore how mastering SEO can substantially enhance your event’s visibility and success.
In planning a simple, ‘straightforward’ conference, event professionals, well into planning, realize that even the most uncomplicated of gatherings are tough in execution. On that note, imagine having to plan a conference with not a single but multiple tracks leading into and across a number of sub-domains or niches. The task grows harder and multiplies with each additional track you add. But here’s what we must do, apart from acknowledging the madness of it all: acknowledge the professionals and the tech that make this possible.
Let’s be honest, getting people excited about your event isn’t always the easiest thing. You are supposed to make all the buzz. However, many attendees will never know about the behind-the-scenes problems of having to deal with decision-makers when a large chunk of those who RSVP’d are not coming. Granted, while you’re busy mixing it up across multiple marketing channels to reach your target audience, the question of ROI can linger in the back of your mind and maybe keep you awake at night.
Students juggling classes, part-time jobs, extracurricular activities and social commitments greatly appreciate and benefit from the existence of what we call ‘day notifications’. For the students who’ve missed information about an important seminar simply because an email got buried in their inbox. And for the professors who’ve seen only empty lecture halls despite weeks of meticulous event planning, the answer might be sitting right in everyone’s pocket.
When organizing an unforgettable event, staying away from marketing missteps becomes the topmost priority. These typical pitfalls will derail your efforts and affect attendance. The process of event marketing has undergone significant changes these days, as more virtual and hybrid formats have taken center stage. This evolution has made event marketing more lucrative for marketers across the globe.
The academic conferences run on abstracts. These are brief proposals that determine who speaks, what gets discussed, and which research reaches the broader community. When the system for managing them breaks down, everything else falls apart. Deadlines get missed, and even the most potent submissions slip through review cracks.
Academic event management systems are everywhere. Universities are racing to adopt them, administrators are allocating budgets and vendors are proclaiming the dawn of a new era where software handles everything from submissions to post-event analytics.
For event organizers in 2025, social media is one of the greatest tools for promotion. And not surprisingly, tons of conferences are now turning to digital platforms to drive registrations and build buzz. At first glance, it may appear that posting updates and hoping for the best is enough, but conference promotion now demands much more than that.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner in several countries around the world, particularly regions like America, Canada and even some parts of Australia. All organizations and entities, corporate, educational and even governmental entities, are gearing up for what is the best time of the year. And non-profit university organizations, too, are jumping on the bandwagon.
Getting your event attendees to show up once is hard enough, but getting them to come back over and over again is a different challenge altogether. If you are an academic event professional who believes that bringing in as many new faces as you can into the conference room is what equates to success, you may be mistaken.
