Leveraging Your Web Site with Social Networking
How bringing people together can benefit you, your attendees and your sponsors
http://www.internetviz-newsletters.com/eletra/mod_...
by David Coleman, Vice President of Marketing, Confabb.com

Are you looking to improve attendance at your next conference, tradeshow or event? Or a new way to ensure attendees return to your event year after year? Of course, you are!

Years ago, most organizers simply put up static Web sites showing event details. But today's conference and event Web sites are more dynamic, allowing registrants and speakers to talk with each other about issues, ideas and even the meeting itself.

The new technologies that support these interactions and this additional value are called "social networking." And the relationships they promote can greatly increase the value of your event to you - and your attendees.
