  • Neon allows event organizers to sell tickets as the event—be it concert, lecture, educational class, etc.—is about to happen or after it has already begun, on the spot. In fact, if showtime is closing in, the app allows those in charge to offer special last-minute deals to help fill the venue. The program can accept mobile payments as well, making a manager or booker’s iPhone an all-in-one command center.
  • Neon also collects all kinds of data connected to the event, with information on ticket sales, check-ins, and everything in between accessible at any time. This data is important to venue owners and those booking events, as it can help when planning future events, dictating times, prices, and showing what kinds of events are most popular.
  • natalieemmanuel on 08 Oct 14
     
    Neon is a new app designed by Eventbrite to be used by Event Planners in order to help organize the events they are coordinating. The app is available for iPod, iPad and the iPhone making it conveniently accessible through one's mobile device. The app allows event organizers to sell tickets in advance to an even as well as provide last minute deals to fill all remaining spots. The app even allows payment to be taken right from the event organizer's mobile device. The app also allows the user to manage guest lists and even helps those who have access to the app to make customer service decisions so that disgruntled guests are not sent to a different location to settle ticket disputes. With all the data the app collects even organizers are able to see important data pertaining to popularity of certain events as well as price variations. The app was designed to be used in dark places. This feature, along with many others makes it user friendly and it is helping event organizers to keep track of important data that will allow them to better assist customers in the future.

    I think I'd need to see it in action. The Forbes article sounds a lot like an Eventbrite press release. I like the idea in principal, but it almost sounds like too much to jam into a single app. Tickets sales, venue status, customer service, revenue tracking.,,, Deployed and linked across multiple tablets, each with it's own purpose and/or scattered across the event venue (with users in some sort of identifiable uniform), I can see it being useful. This also seems like a bit of a departure from straight tickets sales. Who else is in the market space? I'd be interested if Ticket Master is also coming online with event software.

  • While the vast majority of planners surveyed said it was “very important” (42 percent) or “somewhat important” (another 42 percent) to their guests that events incorporate the latest technology, 77 percent said budgets or costs kept them from adopting new tech solutions.
  • Many planners would like an all-in-one, mobile-friendly solution that manages an event’s complete life cycle, from conception to post-event reporting.
  • Wireless transmitters known as beacons (or iBeacons, Apple’s version) are being used to send location-specific messages to nearby mobile phones. Near-field communication (N.F.C.) and radio frequency identification (R.F.I.D.) are catching on as ways to help guests share and store information, often related to their physical location

  • Many organizers are reluctant to do the work necessary to make the tech work,” says Sam Down of Showplans. “They want to use the tech and they want it to deliver its promises, but they won't be enthusiastic until they see results—but they don't seem to understand that the results they want will only come when they show enthusiasm in the first place to make it work.”

  • Wearable TechnologyGoogle Glass and smart watches from tech giants such as Samsung and Apple are indicative of the future popularity of wearable technology. The possibility for incorporation into event planning are endless. Wearable tech has the potential to revamp everything from the site inspection process, to food and beverage. Menu options, travel directions, appointment updates, facial recognition software and contact information are just the beginning of the very real ways that event planners will soon be able to use wearable tech.

How Your Face Will Become Your Ticket to Event Success - Eventbrite UK Blog - 3 views

shared by gulsevim on 23 Feb 18 - No Cached
  • When you smile for the camera next time you’re at an event you might get more than a souvenir photo – you could even be handed your favourite tipple without having to ask for it.
  • facial recognition technology is making it possible to personalise the event experience more than ever before.
  • A little further off is the ability to measure the emotions of crowds, but when it does become possible, it means organisers will be able to understand how much attendees enjoyed their event or individual keynotes, without having to survey them.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Another way the tech can be deployed is to reduce queuing to pay for food, drinks or merchandise by scanning people’s faces at check-out and automatically charging their registered payment method.
  • The possibilities for the development of facial recognition is certainly exciting, but perhaps even more interesting, from an event planner’s perspective, is what you can do with it right now.
  • The core application that Zenus has been focused on is event registration and check-in. The tech can be used to replace ticket scanning and speed up the entry process
  • In terms of accuracy, Zenus’ software is extremely high. “Our system can search the database of 1,000 faces and find the most likely match 99.4% of the time. The attendee or host can then tap on the face to confirm it is correct,”
  • “All the registration company sends us is anonymous images,” he explains. “This happens over securely encrypted channels. When we receive the images we are processing them to extract the face measurements and then we immediately delete the image. We then send back a unique identifier that’s associated with each image without ever having accessed personal information. It gives the event planner peace of mind that the data is being handled properly. After the event, we completely delete the entire database associated with the event.”
  • Crowd analytics will be able to scan faces in a space and tell you how many people are in there. It is also possible to extract demographic data such as age or gender, and so forth. We are going to do all of these things in the future but we prefer to do one thing at a time and make it perfect before we move onto the next thing.
  • gulsevim on 23 Feb 18
     
    Facial recognition technology is not meant to replace the human factor. Rather, it can boost existing processes by improving efficiency, identification and convenience. Technology such as "face geometry" brings a lot of excitement to the events industry. Zenus facial recognition software allows event planners to identify attendees by searching a database of faces in real-time. The main idea is to make the check-in process faster, provide higher security and receive some feedback in a unique way. Neither attendee's e-mails or names, or any personal information is transferred. Human face emerges as a key to security for distinguishing individuals. The registration platform makes images anonymous and sends them to a cloud-based service, where de-identified images are processed and therefore instantly deleted. All data is also discarded after the event, which gives a peace of mind to the event planners and attendees, because of identity theft concerns. With some adjustments and further developments, Zenus facial recognition software will be able to determine emotions of crowds and extract demographic data such as age or gender. With this cloud-based facial recognition software, event planners will be able to quantify whether your guests were interested in one speaker over another, or whether they were engaged or if they were really a good target market for the event.

Event planners are on the hunt to discover the next new products or services that will help them stand out in a coward full of competitors. One trend, that I find so interesting is facial recognition technology. Event planners are using algorithms to reach out to new audiences via social media, improve check-in and security! Another trend, that caught my eye was artificial intelligence for events. Technology such as "chatbots." Chatbot is an automated customer service that helps both guests and event organizers. It will alleviate some of the duties of the staff to be more efficient and address guest issues faster. There are also the right APPs that are being created for events for guest to search, book, post and review events in one place. Also for event organizers to price, communicate and organize all in one place.

    So, being an event professional in the hospitality industry this article intrigued me. Some of the trends listed are trends that my clients and I have already been using for a few years now like livestreaming events, I had a wedding in Jamaica in 2015 in which my clients live-streamed their nuptials for those daily and friends who could not make the trip. What I did find intriguing was the Facial Recognition aspect of Event Technology. That is unbelievable to me. I know we now have iPhoneXs and SnapChat that already do this so I guess its just a matter of having the right type of phone and app that is compatible with this feature.

    This article for event planning and technology shared the current trends of event technology for this year. Facial recognition is becoming popular and is encouraged to use to target an expansive audience. Some events encourage audiences to take advantage of technology by using Facebook to tag photos of the event attendees to to a personalized album. The article also predicts that the future holds facial recognition for attendees checking in for a further improved event. RFID is being widely used by experienced event coordinators in place of event tickets and to reduce payments made physically. With the usage of RFID, it enhances the productivity for the attendees, as well as, make special features, such as raffles, much easier and fun to conduct. Automated customer service features are also rising as it enables guests to conveniently have their questions answered without having to wait to get a response. For example, according to the article, Sound on Sound Fest is a festival for music lovers that created a customer service feature via Facebook Messenger to answer any questions from the potential and prospective attendees. It was said to have instant gratification and success in the ease of asking and answering questions. Apps are also taking a part in events. Apps, such as, Pathable (connect with attendees throughout entire event), Presdo (takes into consideration behavior of attendees), and attendify (share photos, messages, and comments with attendees) are example of applications that events benefit from in this growing trend of event technology. Broadcasting events also assist in gaining popularity for an event and social media walls encourage attendees to post photos of the event with hashtags. Technology is growing and gaining popularity in events. Due to the fact that people are almost never without their cellphones, nevertheless, on their cellphones, the discussed features are popular amongst event attendees and aids in bubbling the posit

How Meetings Benefit From Today's Technology: Meetings & Conventions - 1 views

shared by Yunfan Wu on 07 Nov 13 - No Cached
  • Mobile Apps Mobile technology is one of the hottest areas of development in any industry. Mobile applications will continue to change the way we meet and travel, and their influence will continue to grow. Global smartphone wholesale revenues were expected to hit $97.3 billion in 2010, according to New York City-based ABI Research -- a year-over-year jump of nearly 57 percent. ABI expects revenues to climb to more than $175 billion by 2015. As a fast-growing majority of planners and attendees have smartphones in hand, the opportunities for mobile meetings management and mobile event engagement will skyrocket.
  • How they are being used. App development is occurring at breakneck speed, and potentially thousands could be of use to planners. MeetingApps.com is making efforts to list them all; as of press time, the site had catalogued nearly 1,000 different meeting apps, across 26 different categories, for the iOS alone. Also listed are a steadily growing number of meeting apps for the BlackBerry, and the site has plans to catalog Android apps as well.
  • Meetings management apps. These often are free and provide planners the ability to tap into web-based meeting platforms from their mobile devices while on-site or in transit. In many cases, the apps provide mobile access to a platform for which users already pay. In theory, a dedicated app might not be necessary for that, as long as planners have access to the Internet; but an app that provides a phone-friendly interface and optimizes the display for mobile-device viewing can make the difference between incredibly useful and utterly useless access while away from one's desk.

  • Meeting apps for attendees. Think of these as "electronic event programs plus." These event-specific apps may be downloaded by attendees, nearly always for free, and can include all of the speaker, scheduling, seminar, keynote and attendee information, along with exhibit floor maps, that might be found in a printed program. Additional features could include everything from social-media platform links to attendee messaging or local restaurant listings.
  • Toronto-based 5Touch Solutions, which makes the EventMobi app, has seen 70 percent of attendees download the app at some tech shows, according to president and founder Bob Vaez, and an average 40 to 60 percent download rate overall. Those numbers have grown quickly, says Vaez; as they continue to grow, so too will opportunities to generate revenue from the apps through sponsorships and advertising.
