"Defining Event Goals and Using Technology to Meet Them" gives event professionals a straightforward approach to getting better results from their events. We'll dig into why setting clear goals matters, how to pick the right tech partners, and what actually works when you're trying to create meaningful impact with your audience.

What You'll Learn: By the end of this session, you'll know how to:

• Set event goals that actually mean something (and that you can measure!)
• Choose technology that helps you hit those goals instead of just looking flashy
• Work with your AV and production teams like a pro to get what you really need

How We'll Spend Our Time: We'll look at real events—what worked, what didn't, and why. You'll get a simple framework you can use right away, plus we'll tackle any tricky event challenges you want to throw at me. Bring your toughest questions!

 

Jilian Larimore knows what it's like to plan events from both sides of the table. After 20+ years of nonprofit leadership—successfully growing organizational fundraising and managing complex capital campaigns, volunteer initiatives, and membership programs—she now works as an Account Manager for Cory's Live, an Oklahoma City AV rental and live event production company.

Having been the client who needed mission-critical events to deliver real results on tight budgets and timelines, Jilian brings a unique perspective to helping organizations leverage the right technology to achieve their event goals. She's passionate about cutting through the tech overwhelm to focus on what actually moves the needle.

Her expertise in budget optimization, stakeholder engagement, and translating organizational vision into compelling live experiences has helped association executives, corporate planners, and community organizations create more impactful events that drive results.
