Topics will be presented by Karl Wirth, CEO and co-founder of Evergage, and Dan Flanigan, VP of products for Percussion. Both companies have experience helping renowned educational institutions engage and motivate a variety of audience segments by presenting website content tailored to their persona and visit intent.  

"Students today have an array of higher education choices available--from community colleges, to state colleges, to certificate programs and online degrees--and online research is a critical tool for them when choosing a school. Likewise, alumni are also pulled in many different directions for where to donate their money, which is a critical source of support for universities," said Flanigan. "Personalization is the best way for colleges and universities to engage students, parents and alumni in a conversation, and connect them to the content they care about the most so they will keep coming back."

Attendees will learn:

-       How to engage prospective students with content tailored by academic, athletic, or other interests--while targeting parents with the content they find most relevant--for increasing applications

-       Strategies for building online personalized relationships based on visitor behavior

-       How to keep interactions with alumni of all ages active and engaging - to earn their continued support and increase donations

-       Strategies for inspiring website visitors to take a desired course of action
