PING Festival – The Story behind the Event

11/08/2017
PING Festival

During the past few weeks I’ve been discussing with many people about how PING Festival was born and what’s the idea behind our company. I thought it’s time to share the story with all of you.

People – Interests – Networks – Gathering

PING Helsinki’s goal is to bring together People with common Interests. We want to build Networks and find new ways to create business within the field of media. We believe (and have witnessed) that when the entire industry is Gathering together in real life to discuss and network, new ideas, concepts and opportunities are born.

H2H

We believe in human content. PING Helsinki exists to create and develop human to human media together with the entire media industry.  We help our clients and partners to create more influential marketing by using new technologies. We also do research on influencer marketing and continue to develop the ethical code PING Ethics with industry associations.

“Our mission is to create magic between creativity and business by organizing a sparklingly different business event where anything is possible.”

PING Festival – Where creativity meets business

PING Festival is an annually organized leading Influencer Marketing event in Northern Europe for marketing professionals. It’s the only seminar that connects social media influencers (we call you Content Gurus) and company representatives (we named you Business Hippies) from all branches and channels. The fourth edition of the event takes place on May 8th 2018 in Helsinki, Finland.

The Festival day consists of inspirational keynotes and parallel sessions on influential marketing. PING Festival offers many organized opportunities for effective networking without forgetting surprising experiences that create unique memories. The festival day concludes to a legendary PING Festival After Party where the best and most memorable Influencer Marketing phenomena are created.

The program is produced under five program streams: Transformation, Content, Emotions, Quality and Trust. On top of the keynotes all participants will be offered the opportunity to choose parallel sessions that best suit their needs. Parallel sessions offer hands on case examples, inspiring master class lectures and current Q&A discussions.
