So, You Think Your Event Website is Working? ( http://www.meetingstoday.com/NewsEvents/EventDetails/tabid/104/ItemID/4066/Default.aspx )

Tuesday, May 10th | 1 pm EST

Is your event website working as hard as you
are?

It's hard enough to grab your audience's attention
and entice them to click through to your event website, but even
then the job isn't over. They still need to start (and complete)
their registration. The only thing pushing them through to
register -- or standing in the way -- is your event website. Are
these common event website mistakes costing you registrations?
