Your organization’s content is an investment in the present…and the future. The organization invests in a LOT of content – not only the webinars and conference sessions that your department produces, but also magazine articles, press releases, maybe research reports, clinical guidelines, industry standards, and more. But is the organization making the most of its content investments? For an event session, why invest in a conference room, A/V, possibly even food and beverage for only the 50 people that were able to attend, when the information covered in that session would be useful to so much more of your target audience? Learn how to think more strategically about your content as an investment, and how to make the most of it.
