Overview
With the explosion of idea-sharing from Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook and blogs, clients now routinely come to event companies and designers with pictures from other events that they want you to use. How do you charge for your ideas when you're not creating them anymore? How do you add design creativity to an event when many clients only budget for "event essentials"? These questions and others were the subject of a recent industry roundtable, and the resulting analysis is presented in this white paper.
Special thanks to Pink Powered by Moss for sponsoring the roundtable, as well as this white paper, and enabling it to be available for free.
