Thursday, May 4th

RED VELVET HQ | 7121 N Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX 78752

5:30pm Doors Open with Welcome Drinks

6:00pm Panel Begins

Now that the dust has settled from another SXSW takeover of Austin, its time to look at what marketing events worked, which ones did not, and the lessons that any organization can learn when planning their own experiential marketing campaigns.

We're delighted to partner with Austin's preeminent leaders on Experiential Marketing, RED VELVET, for an hour-long discussion on what's hot and what's on the horizon for marketers looking to make an impact with their audiences.

Topics covered include:

• What is experiential marketing?
• What is the purpose of having a SXSW presence?
• How did 2023 compare to previous years?
• How do I budget for SXSW 2024?
• What does an events expert need to know about SXSW planning?
• How do you manage internal expectations in your organization while planning for SXSW 2024?
• How do you utilize creativity to negate costs?
• How do you emphasize intentionality with your brand's experience?

Please park in the lot behind VED VELVET HQ
