Boost a LinkedIn Live event

Last updated: 3 weeks ago

You can boost your LinkedIn event to reach more people through an ad campaign. Boosting increases your event’s visibility and engagement. You can boost before, during, or after your event.

Boosting a LinkedIn event allows you to quickly launch an ad set with a lighter ad set creation experience, but also limits the options available for objectives, audience criteria, and bid and budget. For full options, create an event ad set in Campaign Manager.
