3. Panel Discussions: Vendors or agencies can qualify for panel discussions, especially if they are accompanied by a brand representative. The interaction provides a comprehensive view of the topic being discussed from both the brand’s perspective and the vendor’s or agency’s side.
4. Supported by Client Testimonials: Vendors and agencies can be backed by client testimonials from brands reinforcing the effectiveness and benefits of their services and solutions. It could be a live presentation by the brand during the event, video testimonials and written recommendations on the event platform.
5. Endorsed by a Brand: If a representative of a brand is willing to vouch for the significant role that the vendor or agency had in improving their marketing approach, and ensure the brand has guests present at the event they may qualify as speakers.
