Measuring Up: ROI Roundtable

Industry experts weigh in on the art of data collection and analysis

Sonia Andresson-Nolasco | From the August 2011 Issue

It’s not a shortage of resources, staff, technology or budgets causing many marketers to skip measuring their events. Surprisingly, many live marketers resist measurement plans because they fear that the numbers might reveal their programs’ inadequacies, and possibly jeopardize their budgets and even their jobs.

While we all get the irony that not measuring event metrics so you can prove your program’s worth can also give executives cause to cut the entire budget, it still doesn’t make taking that first leap into the world of event metrics any more welcoming. So we put together a panel of industry veterans who specialize in ROI—living it, loving it and leveraging it—to offer you a crash course on the ins and outs of creating a data collection and interpretation strategy for your event portfolio. From using historical data and technology to avoiding the “measuring for measurement sake” trap, we asked all the hard questions so you don’t have to. Taking the leap of faith into the world of ROI? Well, that’s up to you.
