It’s Almost Game Time – Before the Conference
Before you leave, there are a few actions you can take to ensure you’re in the best position to market your organization. After registering & setting your appointment calendar, research the Destinations you will be meeting with on Playeasy. Check out their facilities, past events they’ve hosted & all they have to offer. Next, be sure your organization’s Playeasy profile is up to date & fully enhanced. This will be your interactive tool at the conference to pitch all that you do & allow new connections to instantly view your content & follow you. Below are our top tips to get ready before you go –
Submit your Site Selection RFPs
- Submit any upcoming RFPs on Playeasy prior to conferences to alert Destinations & Facilities of your event needs before meeting. It’s best practice to have all RFPs live to reference during conference meetings, & Playeasy RFPs are simple to pull up and share via desktop or mobile.
- The SportsTravel Bid Bowl will be powered by Playeasy RFPs, meaning your RFPs will also be shown to their extensive audience. We’ll be in touch with more updates to come!
