Last chance for marketers to apply for free places at BE Festival networking
Applications for free marketer places at the speed networking forum of next month’s Festival of Branded Content & Entertainment close at the end of business today.
The new networking initiative takes place on the afternoon of October 2, ahead of the conference and awards on October 3.
A maximum of 100 places are available for the speed networking, with 20 free places reserved for marketers with budgetary signoff who are interested in knowing more about forms of branded content available to them.
The speed networking session will allow people to book up to 12 appointments over the three hours in a series of targeted 15 minute slots, with the meetings organised ahead of time via the BE Festival website. The session – which runs from 3pm to 6pm – will seek to connect anyone interesting in doing business around branded content and entertainment. This may include marketers, agencies, suppliers, technologists, creatives, commissioners and content makers.
More than half of the 100 networking places have already been filled. The standard cost of networking tickets is $199. A full Festival pass is $799, which includes networking, the day-long conference and Awards evening.
The Festival of Branded Content & Entertainment – which is organised by Mumbrella’s parent company Focal Attractions – takes place at Luna Park in Sydney.
