  • There are so many great companies out there with lots of great ideas, but any new technology needs to be compatible with current systems in order to be most effective.
  • While most people have smartphones these days, remember that not everyone does. For those who don’t, use kiosks or other ways to update them on session changes or information about the meeting.
  • Do something just because it’s a hot new technology.
  • YU CHEN on 09 Nov 12
     
    This article is a guiline about how to use proper technology for your organization and events. DO 1. Think about integration. 2. Understand your audience. 3. Use tablets to manage the show. DON'T 1. Do something just because it's a hot new technology. 2. Think only about your attendees. 3. Ignore new technology tools. There are many new technologies being applied, but new technologies needs relevant hardware to assort. The meeting space may have not compatible hardware to use all those new technologies; the audience may have not smartphone to access those technologies. The meeting planner should take care of the gap between new technologies and existing system. Meeting planner should choose a new technology base on whether it can solve core problem or not. And meeting planner should always keep trying to use new compatible technology tools to serve meetings.

  • According to "The Economic Significance of Meetings to the U.S. Economy", the first of its kind quantitative research-based analysis on the subject, meetings and conventions support over 1.7 million jobs throughout the U.S. alone. The 1.8 million recorded meetings and conventions held throughout the country in 2011 directly contributed an excess of $106 billion dollars to the Gross Domestic Product with all indicators pointing towards industry growth between 2012 -2020. In essence, meetings mean business…..Big Business!
  • When asked how planners prefer to communicate with their venue partners, the overwhelming response was: electronically (laptops, tablets and smartphones).
  • Planners’ opinions of the technology most important to them for choosing a meeting/event venue in 2013 yielded the following results: High Speed Wi-Fi accessibility Web Conferencing Video Conferencing Although not as important as the above, planners also indicated that the following technologies were also of importance depending on the nature of the meeting/event: Virtual Meeting Environments Portable Audio/Visual Electronic Way-Finding Signage
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • With 83% of meeting planners agreeing that video conferencing is poised to become a must have for venues over the next 2 to 3 years, the question that arises is, “how will meetings/events be evolving in the near future?” Recognizing that the majority of planners do not believe that technological advancements are likely to reduce the need for in-person meetings, if the attitudes of meeting planners’ technological demands persist, and hotels/venues embrace higher technology, they can stay ahead of the curve.
  • It is safe to say that in today’s ever growing International Meeting and Convention Industry, venues that continue to advance their technological assets will continue to enjoy a competitive advantage over those that go without. Yet, those venues that proactively integrate their technologies with their positioning and pricing strategies will be best set to see their competitive advantages continually sustained.

    This was a very interesting article, it discussed how virtual reality and augmented reality are reshaping the event industry. Many high end brands are using it in their events to immerse the attendees. Additionally it is being used pre-event by both the attendee and organizer. The attendee can use it to pick their seats at a show and the organizer can use it to inspect a remote location without having to physically be there. I believe in the next few years we will see more events take advantage of VR & AR technology.

    The use of wedding apps is making life easier for the frantic bride or wedding planner preparing for the big day. These apps help organize all aspects of planning. One of the most useful parts of these apps is one called task manager that allows the planner to keep up with each step of heh wedding planning through e-mail updates and scheduling calendars. It will be interesting to see if a tech savvy generation will even need people to help plan their wedding.

Users can customize their theme, event invitation, the agenda and so on. They can also show their guests the final products via YappBox app for IOS. It is easy for them to update  the app and allow guests to chat or upload group photos. This app sounds great and it will leave more flexibility to its users in event planning.

  • Technologies like scannable QR codes, much like the ones used for online ticketing, can help event professionals collect data from attendees that are actively scanning different objects at a live event.
  • The most likely development in the near term is cashless events.
  • Virtual attendance has the potential to provide low-cost options for people who otherwise wouldn’t be willing to spend money on tickets. Additionally, those people could have a view from the best seats in the house without damaging ticket sales in those areas.
