Here to give us the playbook on exactly how they did it is Marina Middleton, the CEO + Co-Partner of Create & Cultivate: the largest events and media platform advancing women through access, connection, and opportunity. To kickoff ourseries on leveraging events as a business growth engine, Marina spills the tea on how Create & Cultivate differentiated Festival from other business events by creating value outside of content programming, and walks us through the timeline of strategic pricing and promotional pushes that sold out a 2,000 person event.
