  In this article, we are presented with 5 technology devices that are used in today's life to help facilitated and make an event successful. In order to be successful in today's world, it is really important for the event planner to be up to speed specially with technology. People want to have a faster service with the best quality.
  With these 5 devices, an event planner can be on top of its competitor and maintain happy clients.
  In our fast-paced world, the expectation that information gets disseminated quickly and communication is immediate makes high-tech gadgets a must in the event planning industry. The old days of leaving a paper trail won't cut it if you want to stay competitive. Goodbye to day planner, hello iCal (a calendar that keeps up with your entire schedule electronically). These devices really do increase efficiency and therefore, business.
  
  1. Laptop computer- event planners are often out and about.Having access to programs and files throughout the day will not only save you time, but they could also create more job opportunities by allowing you to create proposals from out in the field. Many event planners also rely heavily on industry-specific software to help them keep track of event details, so having this information at your fingertips is no longer a convenience -- it's a must.
  
  2. Digital Camera- When trying to land a client, you can do your best to verbalize your vision or describe details of past events, but a photo will always do it better and faster.
  
  
  3. 2-way Radio-Even in an era of continual technological breakthroughs, nothing gets the message across as fast as an old-fashioned walkie-talkie. Cell phones and computers are essential in the planning stages, but on the day of the event, you and your staff need to be in immediate contact at the push of a button
  
  4. Tablet Computer-A tablet may not have all of the functionality of a laptop computer, but it does work well in conjunction with a laptop for event planners. The inner workings are similar to a smart phone but with a substantially larger screen, which makes e-mailing and Internet searches easier to maneuver.
  
  5. Smart Phone-No longer is it simply acceptable to be reachable via phone at all hours of the day; when time is of the essence, as it is to all event planners, you also need to have constant access to e-mail. Enter the smart phone. With Internet and e-mail capabilities along with phone service and access to your contact lists, smart phones have become the most essential tool an event planner can have that can fit in your pocket or small purse.
