TRANSFORMING THE
INDUSTRY

2. Technology is developing at such a rate, it's hard to keep track! It is
revolutionalising the way we plan and implement events. Keep reading
to ensure you're up to date with all you need to know...

3. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
A truly fascinating element of event technology that provides endless possibilities.
Experiences will have the potential to be completely personalised to each attendee,
enhancing their experience. Elements of event planning will also become far more
efficient as AI becomes more common practice within the industry.

4. The integration of robots into the industry will impact every stage
of the event cycle. There are already robots that can identify attendees,
remember what drink they had previously and automatically pour it for them when
required. Stay tuned for this ground-breaking progression.

5. From registration and security to data collection during events, facial recognition is
becoming part of everyday life! Attendee surveys may become a thing of the past
with this emerging technology. Measure which elements of your event attendees
are enjoying and aspects they are not, all based on their facial expressions.
FACIAL RECOGNITION

6. The Internet of Things is continuing to grow across the industry. It’s about
connecting devices over the internet, letting them talk to us, our applications,
and each other. Essentially if you can imagine it, it’s most likely possible. Imagine
tables that tell you when a speaker is about to come on, or food and drink stands
that remember your preferences! Well, it’s all available to have at your next event.

7. Being a 'Smart City' will become a determining factor when selecting a location for
an event. Factors such as intelligent hotels, seamless transport and safer travel
options, will all increase your attendee's event experience. It therefore will become
an essential component to consider when planning your next event.

8. The combination of virtual and reality, creating a hybrid for events! With the increase
in popularity of virtual reality, mixed reality provides experiences that delegates will
never forget. If you haven't brought VR and AR into your events previously, then 2018
is the year to do so!
MIXED REALITY

9. Social media will continue to dominate, it's part of everyday life and certainly an
integral part of the event industry. Having a social media wall for your attendees
to engage and interact with increases attendees’ engagement. Making the
event memorable. This also increases the chances of your
event trending!

10. Get your attendees involved! With the use of gesture technology your guests can
interact and engage directly with your content. You can build awareness and
enhance customer experience whilst getting your brand identity out there.

11. LIVE STREAMING
Did you know that 2/3 of all internet traffic is due to streaming video accounts? If
you haven't started live streaming your events and speakers, it's time to start doing
so in 2018!

12. CHATBOTS
Provide attendees with the opportunity to ask their mobile app a question and to
receive an instant answer! You can pre-program answers to standard questions
such as 'what time is [speaker name] speaking' or answer questions individually.
This brilliant piece of technology will help to create a seamless user experience, and
a memorable one at that!
