This article goes into great detail about how technology is growing within the hotel and tourism industry. The VP of American Express Meeting and Events states that new technologies are providing event planners with much more opportunities to increase participant engagement, obtain feedback and get more connected. The article also dives into the fact that event planners notice that new technology may be a distraction to people who are not accustomed to it. A fun fact I found about this article that event mobile applications can be customized to range up to thousands of dollars to develop and maintain. It seems that meeting applications are working well with larger events as opposed to smaller sized meetings.

Event App Security: Access & Data Privacy Best Practices - EventMobi - 1 views
-
Due to heightened sensitivity around data breaches and privacy, event planners are having to pay special attention to how their technology vendors—like event app providers such as EventMobi—are using and storing their event data.
-
Provide passcodes for private events. Requiring participants have a passcode to log into an event app allows planners to limit access to only those people they share the passcode with, such as a list of registrants.
-
Restricting app access to registered participants only (based on their email address) ensures the greatest control over event details and participant listings by locking out anyone not registered to attend.
- ...1 more annotation...
-
Aside from ensuring your event app provider is security-conscious, it’s important to consider implementing processes that mitigate risk around how other vendors and/or your employees access or use event participant data.
-
This article tells about how important the security features are for the event registration software and apps. The authors tells what security ensuring procedures have to be implemented in the apps, what kinds of information should the attendees agree to before signing up and the regulations that have to followed by the event planners using the event apps. -
This article is a piece of nice introduction on how to protect event information security with apps. It gives us an insight of how event planners can set the registration system and limit access of the participants to protect privacy. Besides the settings and consideration of the system (app) itself (like the provider of the app and their policies) and the privacy policies, this article also mentions other considerations like Wi-Fi security, employee training and limited information access.

The Future of Event Planning and Social Media - 0 views
-
event planners are finding new ways to organize, plan, and promote their events with the help of social media
-
Geolocation platforms can go hand-in-hand with event planning
-
Their network on Twitter becomes a real resource when looking to find the perfect hotel, DJ, venue, cake master, etc. You name it, and someone on Twitter can probably help you find it.
-
SUMMARY OF USING SOCIAL MEDIA FOR EVENT PLANNING Social media is a great tool in event planning. Event planners are turning to social media such as Facebook, Tweeter, LinkedIn and many others to organize and promote events. Social media gives the event organizers platform to promote the event and get ideas from others about the upcoming event. Social medias are also used to discuss about the event before it happens and after the event has taken place. -
This article talks about how event planning is evolving. Nowadays, event planners are using social media such as facebook, twitter, foursquare, and vimeo. These social media tools allow them to reach a broader audience, keep track of how many people attended their event, and help find vendors such as DJ's, photographers etc. "What we're seeing is more integration of social media into their lives as a way to promote their services, plan and promote events, and bring the conversation full circle from the virtual world to real life."

Eventbrite Launches 'Neon' App, An Event Planner's Mobile Command Center - Forbes - 1 views
-
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.
-
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.

IHG Takes Meetings Online with Passkey's GroupMAX™ Technology - 0 views
-
In this article, InterContinental Hotel Group announces the launch of a new events and meetings booking tool that will be used by 23 of its properties in New Zealand and Australia. A product of Passkey, the GroupMax reservations technology will enable hotels, event planners, and attendees to fully automate their booking processes. GroupMax is completely online and can be used by any standard browser or smartphone. Its suite of tools includes online hotel booking, live event tracking, automated room lists, increased pick-up, and professional e-mail marketing. Of particular interest to event planners, I feel, are the live event tracking, automated room lists, and increased pick-up features. Event tracking enables planners to optimize their room blocks and see where their financial risks are. The automated room lists feature allows planners to personally make adjustments to their room blocks, and to be assured that attendee data is PCI-secure. With increased pick-up, event planners can easily e-mail updates or reminders to attendees and thus have greater knowledge of and control over their room blocks. GroupMax helps event planners to be better informed about past events, etc. and how and where to improve.

How AI is Transforming the Event Planning Space One Conversation at a Time - 0 views
-
This article discusses the use of AI technology in the event planning sector, concluding that AI can be used as chatbots interfaces, data collection tools, and recommendation engines for event planners, to make the event planning process much faster and easier. - ...2 more comments...
-
Used properly, AI technology can lead to enhanced experiences for guests and a more streamlined and efficient process for event planners, and extremely useful feedback data. AI technology is increasingly being utilized by many businesses and investments in smart technology is increasing across industries. The article states that by 2020, about 80% of business plans will include the use of chatbots and the event planning industry will do the same.
-
Here is why and how: --AI technology is easy to implement at a low cost --They are easy to "plug" in and incorporate and suitable for any size events --A chatbot is a great solution for engaging with guests easily at lower cost and complexity, although it seems the idea of creating a dedicated app for a smaller event may not seem necessary --Consider that a chatbot build for marketing purposes will cost small and medium sized enterprises about $3000-$5000 --However they can then be implemented for any event format within a particular business niche, so consider the investment may be worth it --Especially since they can be quickly trained to engage guests and answer frequently asked questions or to direct guests to the correct solution or person, 24 hours a day, so the need for support staff 24 hours a day is eliminated, or it allows a better experience if, for any reason, a guest needs help during non-business hours, and can even escalate guest situations at any time to management. --It can provide insightful information for guests, such as matching a guest with the best sessions for them, based on their interests, contacts, or any other useful information, taking away the need for the guest to analyze and plan their day based on an overwhelming complicated schedule --Eliminates the need for the guest to carry around a large schedule and try to plan their day accordingly --Not only can the AI technology automate recommendations for the guests, it can also automate recommendations for planners, taking away the need for planners to manually sift through a variety of sources, send outreach emails, etc.
-
On that note it makes it easier to match planners with appropriate vendors as well. Both of these are considered the AI matchmaking function. The chatbot can also unite fellow guests with similar interests or experiences and give them a place to virtually meet each other, and Facebook has launched chatbot extensions. A company called PubNub allows a business to build its own chatbots from scratch.
-
Instead of having to download yet another app, chatbots allow users to connect through apps they've already downloaded (like facebook messenger), or other popular apps. And of course all of this data and interaction is collected and can be analyzed by event planners to streamline and enhance business, increase revenue, and increase guest satisfaction based on recommendations from the AI technology.

Carter explains, “For those individuals that would like to explore event planning as a career, you need to know that the hotel event/convention business is a unique industry. It is extremely important to gain a basic understanding of the business including hotel operations, terminology and sales concepts before assuming it is the right career for you.

To get started, read a meeting planning primer or concise reference manual to give you an idea of what you will encounter while planning meetings. Industry articles will also give you a feel for what event planners face each day.”

Be Real. As Carter advised, know what you're getting into before you jump in. Landing a job you regret is a waste of time and resources, yours and your employer's.
