Do you know what your audiences’ favorite color is? What do they like to do aside from going to your events? Which month has the most audience member birthdays? Getting to know your audience can open a whole new world of ideas for creating programs that will engage them personally. We will be looking at how to get to know your audiences through creative surveys, focus groups, events and individual conversations. You will then learn how to analyze the results and how to turn this new awareness into golden ideas for a more personal audience engagement approach.
