The biggest asset of an event are it's attendees. If you use your attendees in a smart way, they will start spreading User Generated Content. But as content gets published, it also gets fragmented.
As an event organizer you can provide an easy to use content platform where all this content is gathered, and can be used to generate buzz before, during or after the event.
In this presentation we will show you how you can use the power of your attendees to create more visibility for your event using User Generated Content

be better to keep track of this

any credit
