It’s Almost Game Time – Before the Conference
Before you leave, there are a few actions to take to ensure you’re in the best position to market your Destination. After registering & setting your appointment calendar, research the Event Organizers you will be meeting with on Playeasy. Check out their venues, events, RFPs & economic impact dashboard on their profile. Next, be sure your Destination’s Playeasy profile is up to date & fully enhanced. This will be your interactive tool at the Symposium to pitch yourself & allow new connections to instantly view your content & follow you. Below are our top tips to get ready before you go –
