What is the Business Event™ Canvas?

The Business Event Canvas™ is a one-page strategic tool that guides you through every key component of your event. Inspired by the principles of design thinking, this canvas allows you to approach event planning from a holistic, results-driven perspective. It breaks down your event into clear sections, including:

• Event Purpose: Clearly define the objectives of your event. Are you building relationships, generating leads, educating your audience, or launching a new product?
• Target Audience: Identify your key stakeholders, and break them down into groups for targeted engagement.
• Event Format & Design: Choose the most appropriate format and design that speaks to your audience while ensuring that your business goals are met.
• Value Proposition: Develop a compelling value proposition for your attendees, one that communicates the unique benefits they will gain from attending.
• Call to Action (CTA): Ensure your event includes clear, value-driven CTAs that not only guide attendee behaviour but also reinforce your business objectives.
• Event Experience: Plan the attendee journey—from their first touchpoint to the post-event follow-up—ensuring a seamless, memorable experience that supports your goals.
