National Marketing Institute
Presented by NIRSA • November 19-21, 2008 • Hilton Head, South Carolina
More than 70 attendees participated in the 2008 NIRSA National Marketing Institute. Participants took advantage of thirteen different educational sessions, five invited speakers, and the vast experience of their colleagues to make this event so successful.
Attendees were inspired to rethink and refresh their customer service focus, review and reinvigorate their websites, and focus their marketing energies by developing a marketing plan. Then there were the how-to sessions on podcasting, graphic design, sponsorship recruitment and reporting…and the list goes on!
Everyone left feeling excited about the work they have ahead of them, and knowing that they can call on their colleagues for support, encouragement and advice.
Here’s what a few attendees had to say:
- "The things I learned from the keynotes, educational sessions and networking challenged me and will give my school the opportunity to be on the cutting edge with its marketing in the years to come."
- "The speakers were fabulous and the sessions provided much information to take back and implement immediately. The Institute was very educational and I will definitely attend in the future."
- "The small size really allowed me to connect with my peers at other instituions. The topics were right on with things I deal with everyday - web and social networking, marketing planning, sponsorships, etc."
Many attendees brought promotional items and materials to share with each other. Electronic samples of some of these promotional materials are available here.
