Are YOU using events as an omnichannel strategy? On today’s episode, Kimberly Whinna Cottrell (of AWS’s Marketing division) and I talk about events: live events, webinars, experiential, you name it.  Not only are they a great way to meet the community you’ve created, but they provide endless opportunities for content—content you can use in the short term, long term, throughout the year, for promotional purposes for other events.

They can still have a sizable impact.  Plus, Kimberly mentions moments beyond AI—and how AI can never replace the feeling of human interaction.  Do you work in events and event management or marketing?
