B2B Brand Vol. 9: Turning B2B Events into Digital Content Gold

Alright, marketers—events are no longer one-and-done moments. In today’s digital-first world, the savviest B2B brands are squeezing every last drop out of their events. The result? Content ecosystems that deliver value long after the badges and lanyards are tossed aside.

Here’s the kicker: 56% of marketers say in-person events are their top-performing channel, and 51% put webinars right behind them (Forbes). Why? Because these formats are engagement powerhouses, and they’re just getting started.
