What success looks like……
It’s not just the experience either…
Success can be: attendance numbers (online), increased sponsor promotion, new leads captured (more or cheaper), new social connectios, demonstrating new technologies
Event Camp success: no budget thus no revenue. Reach and strength of knowledge shared
Success = all the ways it was enhanced
