Events are now tech driven be it on-ground events or the online events. Technology has been developed far more advanced and more personal over the growing years. When it comes to technology, the biggest difference in trends is accessibility. As technology continues to develop and be refined, it becomes easier to implement, making accessibility better than ever. Events industry has seen so many innovative technologies which are on their way of becoming mainstream. Adopting such technologies gives a competitive edge to the companies in organising events.
- Gamification
At an event, the disengaged attendee is host’s worst enemy. Interactive games increases the engagement like no other.
- Livestreaming Events
Streaming events and content live on the web makes it accessible to a worldwide audience. This means attendance to your content can surpass any capacity limitations a physical event would have. It can also be a pre-event to create hype for your main on-ground event.
- Face Recognition
Automated check-ins using pre-uploaded photos while registering for the program makes it super easy to get yourself check-in. It reduces time to physically verify the details of attendees, which is the need of hour.
- Wearable Tech
Smart badges, ID cards, and watches using NFC Chips keeps the human involvement to the minimum. It keeps queues to the minimum. Makes the event more easily accessible, making the purchases cashless, helps in curating lead data, and also helps for the security purpose.
- Interactive food and drink stations
Imagine the delight attendees will feel as they discover multiple interactive food and beverage stations dotted throughout your event. From a customizable champagne cocktail bar to a live stir-fry station to a wall of donuts, there’s plenty of creative ways to feed your attendees and wow them at the same time.
- Virtual and augmented reality
Both technologies have become increasingly more affordable and allow attendees to test the limits of their imagination. A virtual skydiving simulator, for example, gives people the experience of skydiving without them leaving your event.
