Infuse community thinking into your event strategy
Fuse positions event organizers to transform passive attendees into engaged, loyal participants.
Curated Resources, Fresh Perspectives, and Collective Industry Expertise
What if you could turbocharge your events to boost engagement and make attendees more excited to come back year after year? Conferences, trade shows, and other B2B events offer an incredible opportunity to help people forge lasting relationships and create long-term communities. But traditional event design often fails to fully capture this potential. Sure, most events offer networking, but just putting people in a room together isn’t enough to spark inspiration and meaningful connection. This is where Fuse comes in. We’re here to help event professionals harness the power of community, to turn attendees into loyal, enthusiastic participants.

Events spark growth.
Engagement fuels it.
Let’s tap into our collective professional expertise.
Events can be powerful transformative experiences that deliver unparalleled opportunities for attendees to learn, connect, and grow. But when everyone packs up and heads home, the euphoria and Eureka moments of the onsite experience quickly fade. Sustain the value of your events and uncover new monetization opportunities by helping attendees forge stronger connections – both with your brand and with each other.
With Fuse, learn not only what tactics to deploy, but also why they work and how to apply them to your specific brand. Events aren’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is Fuse. Get precisely what you need from this community – by requesting resources from Fuse moderators, asking questions of your peers in the Fuse LinkedIn group, or joining our dedicated group of Community Champions, whose invaluable direction and guidance help chart the course for Fuse’s continued evolution.
