• Make Social Part of the Conversation: Build out a social engagement experience that invites attendees to share their experience via their personal social media channels. Acknowledge your attendees by liking, replying and sharing their content! ???? 
• Utilize Different Social Platforms: Create Stories on Instagram, an album on Facebook, and live tweets on Twitter. You want to highlight your event in several ways, utilizing multiple social media platforms allows you to do so! ????
• Tell Your Brand Story Visually: Events can be a great place to highlight visual content. You’ll want to incorporate a strategy that includes capturing fun and engaging content. Give followers a behind-the-scenes look, design engaging Story templates or go live! ????????

Ultimately social media is a huge part of how people experience the world today, and it’s no different for your event! Not only does it build excitement leading up to the event, but invites people who weren’t able to attend to join in on the fun! ????
