Event Technology Companies Join Forces to Create EventTechHub | TSNN Trade Show News - 2 views

  • Four event technology companies have teamed up to create EventTechHub, a collaborative initiative featuring fully integrated digital solutions designed to make event planning more efficient, increase attendee engagement and grow event revenue opportunities.
  • “Event and meeting planners constantly point out to us how hard it is to find vendors (and) even after they have selected the ones they like, it is hard to manage them,”
  • They need multiple accounts, export and import files, pay them separately and hope they are compatible with each other. EventTechHub addresses this need and allows event planners to source and manage vendors easily. This makes things easy for everyone involved in the process.”

  • There is an overabundance of apps on the market, each with a distinct functionality (and) the need to implement multiple apps can become cumbersome, confusing and cost-prohibitive for most planners,” Wynant said.
  • He continued, “Our innovative technology not only has the ‘cool factor’ of turning smartphones into microphones but the event planners who used Tap To Speak report a 400 percent boost in audience engagement during their live events. We seamlessly integrate into the Eventinterface event program and itinerary feature – turning the audience mobile devices into feedback machines. This way, Eventinterface and Tap To Speak provide real-time audio and text communication, polls and surveys to the planners, speakers and attendees of the conference or event. The combination of our respective areas of expertise in combination with modern event technology gives even more power to event planners to make their events even better.”
  • “Combining the expertise of four event-industry leaders is a truly exciting prospect,” Arzoni said. “We’re ready to play our role in ensuring ETH is invaluable for anyone in the event and meeting planning industry.” Combined, EventTechHub’s founding companies have served more than 1,500 events of 25-30,000 participants in 40 countries for companies including Google, Applebee’s and Johns Hopkins University, which have worked with one or multiple EventTechHub solutions.
  •  
    This contribution between major event planning companies can really make a difference in the way vendors are found and managed. The new platform will address event planner's concerns and bring new innovative ideas to the sector.
