2016 NIRSA/ACUI Collegiate Marketing Institute

November 9-11, 2016 • Las Vegas

Vibrant marketing is the key to raising awareness and building support for your recreational sports programs and facilities.

An engaging marketing plan allows you to draw attention and new energy to your programming while building strong relationships with your current students, staff, members, and sponsors.

This year’s Institute will be the second time that ACUI will be partnering with NIRSA to offer more sessions and diverse material. Valuable for both experienced marketers and those new to the field, the educational sessions of the NIRSA/ACUI Marketing Institute deliver winning strategies through a discussion of both current marketing trends and tried-and-true best practices.

Marketing serves many purposes: it shapes program and service offerings, it communicates a story to particular audiences, and it creates a case for supporting the purpose of unions and campus recreation. This session will provide an overview of the marketing landscape in higher education with an emphasis on student unions and campus recreation. It will offer ideas to maximize these efforts, and discuss ways to use, defend, and garner more resources.
