How ControlUp broke registration records for their virtual event
Not to be deterred by COVID-19’s utter annihilation of in-person shows, ControlUp’s Global Event Manager, Leeza Malachevsky, hatched a plan.
She and her team put together a virtual event, pitting two technical UC gurus head to head who have expertise in two different technologies with which ControlUp partners.
These two speakers possess a good amount of street cred and respect within the End User Computing and IT communities.

Generating maximum buzz for their virtual event
Leeza and team’s goal was to generate maximum brand awareness but also find a way to creatively engage their community.
So they first created an image of their two presenters with heads on top of boxing uniforms, which they knew their audience would find funny.
Next, they began promoting the virtual event, leveraging email and social campaigns.
But during the last couple days leading up to show-time, they wanted to grow their registration and buzz even more.
