TOP CONCERNS FOR EVENTS PLANNERS & MARKETERS (1:00)
Per Kenny, a top concern is social media - how can event planners and marketers use social media during the different lifecycles of an event and different audience types. Other questions include using social media to draw people to an event, within in the event and after the event, as well as measurement.

There is also confusion about social for traditonal media, digital vs. analog and virtual vs. physical. Right now, all of these issues are coming up and converging. Event planners and corporate marketers are trying to figure all of this out.
