The research aims to analyse the means used by the marketing sector in scientific events (congresses) organised by the SER Educacional group. Specifically, the paper sought to identify the use of marketing strategies to potentialize scientific events. The paper is based on the theory of marketing strategies, specifically educational marketing. The central question is: how do educational marketing strategies contribute to the enhancement a university brand from scientific events and thus valuing and consolidating the brand in the educational context? Methodologically, the research is based on the qualitative approach and used techniques that allowed to analyse the SER Group's strategies to organise congresses in the Universidade da Amazônia from 2015 to 2020. The data was collected in the database of the Scientific Events Management System of the SER Educacional Group. The paper shows that over the years, the SER Educational Group has been innovating and keeping up with market and marketing trends. Each year, marketing campaigns carried out from Event Marketing tools offer new strategies to promote services, courses, and activities. The strategies used strengthen the institution's brand for both internal and external audiences. Additionally, they contribute to the expansion and acquisition of new audiences once the private educational market is becoming increasingly competitive.
