In a recent blog post we discussed the importance of [inbound content for B2B event marketers](https://www.brightbull.co.uk/blog/bid/345327/Focus-on-inbound-marketing-to-generate-leads-for-events). Of all the many strands of online content marketers have at their disposal, video is perhaps the most compelling and engaging. It is also a firm favourite amongst B2B audiences.

The conference and events industry are scratching their heads about what they can do to drive delegate attendance, conference ticket sales and in general [how they can achieve sexier marketing](https://www.brightbull.co.uk/blog/alternative-b2b-marketing-automation-platforms-for-smes-on-a-budget).

## [Building a B2B community around your events and conferences](https://www.brightbull.co.uk/blog/bid/346027/building-a-b2b-community-around-your-events-and-conferences)

[![Building a B2B community around your events and conferences](https://www.brightbull.co.uk/hs-fs/file-837047401-jpg/images/building_a_community_in_events.jpg)](https://www.brightbull.co.uk/blog/bid/346027/building-a-b2b-community-around-your-events-and-conferences)

As discussed in the first blog in this series, contemporary customers are looking for more than a purely transactional relationship with your brand – **they want to interact with you**. It's true. Part of that relies on creating interesting and consistent content for your audience to engage with (blogs, videos, interviews, ebooks, photos) but, as an extension to your [inbound marketing](https://www.brightbull.co.uk/b2b-marketing-services/b2b-inbound-marketing/) for events, it also involves building a community. [Establishing a community will help retain customer loyalty](https://www.brightbull.co.uk/blog/bid/350037/17-examples-of-b2b-online-communities-how-the-big-hitters-go-about-it) amongst the glut of event marketing competitors all clamouring for attention, as well as attract the "right" kind of new customer. A community is a two-way conversation. **A living, breathing thing that's interactive and social**. Ok so there will always be some bystanders in the crowd that just watch and listen - but many will also participate and share, which is where the community weapon really plays out.

## [Focus on inbound marketing to generate leads for events](https://www.brightbull.co.uk/blog/bid/345327/focus-on-inbound-marketing-to-generate-leads-for-events)

[![Focus on inbound marketing to generate leads for events](https://www.brightbull.co.uk/hs-fs/file-779657299-png/images/inbound-marketing-to-generate-leads-for-events.png)](https://www.brightbull.co.uk/blog/bid/345327/focus-on-inbound-marketing-to-generate-leads-for-events)

As event marketers we all know that B2B lead generation is an expensive and time-consuming business. Those ye olde ‘push’ tactics simply don’t yield the volume of quality leads we’re all desperately hunting.

That's why, these days, it's all about **'pulling' those prospects in**. Successful [inbound marketing](https://www.brightbull.co.uk/b2b-marketing-services/b2b-inbound-marketing/) should [connect your potential customers with you ](https://www.brightbull.co.uk/blog/alternative-b2b-marketing-automation-platforms-for-smes-on-a-budget)and your event via engaging content that can be easily accessed on the device of their choice.

This is one of those questions that has a multitude of answers but based on my own experience, Conference and Exhibition companies can specifically start with 6 areas of focus in order to make a step change in their top line performance: I’ve been out talking to bosses of small and medium size conference companies lately about their [most pressing challenges](https://www.brightbull.co.uk/blog/bid/347394/the-delegate-sales-squeeze-a-guide-for-b2b-event-marketers) and, if I was to distil things down to the one most common question, it is, in essence **“how do we sell more stuff?”! **

### What is currently happening in the conference and events industry? 

### Where are we heading?

Well, like any other fast-growing and successful industry, this is always the topic of conversation when we meet with industry folk or overhear the banter at conference industry events. Every director of a conference, event or exhibition company is [asking these questions ](https://www.brightbull.co.uk/blog/this-how-much-event-companies-spend-and-make-hot-event-industry-insights)and it's clear that anyone not thinking ahead will surely be left behind. As successful as the events industry is, nobody can afford to be complacent especially in this entrepreneurial, digital era. 

So we have partnered with [CatchTalk.TV](http://catchtalk.tv/) (formerly known as Xavy) to bring you precisely that. **The most talked about predictions for the conferences and events industry in the near future.**

**2 for 1**, **discount**, **early bird**, **free**, **offer**, **save**, **exclusive**, **last chance**, **still time**…these words are the back bone of so much event marketing copy. Some of them were probably in the list of **“powerful”** words you were issued with when you started marketing.
