"You can't sell anything if you can't tell anything." - Beth Comstock

Welcome to the final installment of our The Science of Event Marketing series on the Hero's Journey framework. If you're just joining us, catch up on steps 1-3, 4-7, and 8-10 to see how the journey unfolds. 


Today, we're exploring the final two steps that cement your event's lasting impact.

11. Resurrection: This is where transformation becomes real. Post-event, attendees begin implementing what they've learned, facing new challenges with their acquired wisdom. Support this phase through:

  • Follow-up success stories
  • Implementation check-ins
  • Community support channels
  • Resource libraries for ongoing learning
12. Return with the Elixir: The journey concludes as attendees become advocates, sharing their transformative experience with others. Encourage this through:
  • Testimonial opportunities
  • Case study features
  • Speaker opportunities at future events
  • Mentor programs for new attendees

Event planners must embrace storytelling because it transforms one-time attendees into brand advocates. 

When you craft a complete narrative arc, you:
  • Create memorable experiences that inspire sharing
  • Build a community of transformed professionals
  • Generate authentic word-of-mouth marketing
  • Establish a legacy that extends beyond the event itself
