In 2023, on average, 45% of conference attendees delayed registering until four weeks or less before an event. That’s among the eye-popping findings in a new Registration Insights Report from experience design company Maritz, which analyzes how long conference participants are taking to commit to attending an event. The result of a deep dive into more than 360,000 attendee registrations across 30 #events over the past few years, the report also suggests strategies to mitigate the effects of last-minute—and early-bird—registrants.

📚 CONFERENCE POSTING 101 👨🏫 There are multiple categories of posts that are almost guaranteed to get engagement during conference season. Here are a couple. If I'm missing any please advise. 1) The "who is going to [insert conference]?" post You likely have already seen a dozen of these, so you have a good idea of who is going. That doesn't matter. You still need to do this post. This is a low effort, simple way to get a ton of comments from others who are going. 2) The photo dump + multiple tags post Post a bunch of pictures and tag everyone and their companies. They'll all reply/like/share it for sure. 3) The "I'm not at [insert conference], I'm actually working" post You aren't at the conference and are feeling FOMO, but instead of saying that you flip it and turn it into a flex. This one is risky, but if done properly can be effective. 4) The booth number post If you have a booth, you're probably going to be bored out of your mind standing there all day, so you need your friends to stop by the booth. Make sure they know the booth number! 5) The "I'm on my way to [insert conference]" post Post a pic at the airport or in the airplane. Bonus points if you post a pic at the airport bar or in a lounge.
