Speaker Marketing Opportunities
Marketing Your Session: Maximizing Attendance
Speakers who proactively market their speaking engagements to their customers tend to have some of the more popular sessions at the event. Take advantage of the following marketing items to communicate to your customers and assist the IEC in promoting your session.

Feature HTML e-mail/Web site spotlight sessions
  • Service provider and vendor speaker presentations featuring your session title, time, and date.
  • Content-driven messages from speakers—including teasers—describing the topical direction of your specific comments. Content should be sent to ksimpao@iec.org.
  • Presentation slide(s) that can be released ahead of the event (optional)
  • Speaker bios and photos
IEC will market this information to prospects, interest groups, and pre-registrants, as well as create dedicated HTML e-mails. Speakers can send this information to their customer base. Refer us to your public relations manager or marketing manager who handles these relationships.
