- Common pitfalls and how to avoid them Cross the streams early – marketing, event planning, IT, AV; vendor and clientThink strategically about pricingAll for free; some for free; some for pay; all for payPrice by session, or whole conference passOr is it a bonus you offer new members? New registrants?Have social media in place BEFORE you launch registrationPeople want to know who else is attending, physical and onlineUse hashtag and URLs in ALL communication to both sidesGet approval to record presenters (do it in the call for speakers form or confirmation)Pre-flight check – on-site and online

Reaching out to the web 2.0 community will foster even more fantastic dialogue because it will open the conference to a wider audience. With the state of the economy, the virtual pass will allow our peers who can’t be there in person stay on target with the new information being shared, and create an unparalleled networking opportunity.”
