?? We don’t condone tossing out books, but… sometimes, the rulebook needs to go. It's time to future-proof your event strategy! This series with Jordan Arnold and Dahlia El Gazzar ?? was like an event fever dream masterclass of actionable insights and next-level ideas. Here are the gems we’re carrying into 2025: ? Consistent touchpoints: One-and-done? Not on our watch. ? Building relationships that actually mean something. ? Micro-content that turns every second into marketing magic. We’re talking about events, sure—but really, we’re redefining how connections are made. Ready to dive deeper? ??

If your event tech isn't up to par, it's like hosting the Oscars but forgetting to invite the celebrities. ???? A solid virtual event strategy needs tools that actually pull their weight. No dead weight allowed. Here’s what deserves a spot in your 2025 event tech lineup: ?? AI-powered Q&A and chat – because nothing kills engagement like an awkward silence. ?? Instant recaps & highlight clips – so your best moments don’t disappear into the void. ?? Real-time analytics & engagement tracking – because gut feelings don’t win championships. ?? Seamless registration & networking – making attendance a no-brainer, not an obstacle course. Save this checklist for later. Your future self will thank you. ??

Using an event platform that can’t track engagement is like running webinars with a blindfold on. ?? That was the reality for Thryv—clunky registrations, tech headaches, and worst of all? A total data blackout. No tracking. No insights. No clue who actually showed up. ???? If you don’t know what’s working, how do you make the next event even better? (Spoiler: You don’t.) So they made the switch. RingCentral Events gave them a system that actually pulls its weight with customizable templates for a seamless setup, friction-free attendee access (because logging in shouldn’t be an event itself), and engagement data that tells a real story. ?? The result? Smoother webinars, better conversions, and marketing fuel that keeps working long after the event ends. More insights. More impact. Way less stress. Sound lovely, right? This could be you: https://lnkd.in/d9ZFRuUT

This is the mantra every event pro and marketer needs to hear. ?? Dahlia El Gazzar ?? and Jordan Arnold Time invested in content creation, audience engagement, and brand-building isn’t an expense—it’s a growth strategy. The best part? No-budget wins often deliver the biggest impact. ?
