Tech Trends Dominating the Events Scene (Driven by Event Software)
Interactive Event Software Apps
Event software apps have redefined how attendees engage with corporate events. What began as basic agenda outlines has evolved into comprehensive platforms offering interactive features such as real-time updates, personalised schedules, interactive maps, networking tools, Q&A sessions, and live polls.
These event apps enhance attendee engagement while giving organisers the tools and event data to create more impactful and successful experiences. They also promote meaningful interactions by using algorithms to match attendees with similar interests, taking networking to a whole new level.
Smart Venues with Integrated Event Tech
Imagine stepping into a venue that automatically adapts its environment to suit the number of attendees or their level of engagement. This is made possible through event management software that integrates with IoT (Internet of Things) technology. With sensors and smart devices, venues can control lighting, temperature, and sound to create the ideal setting for different parts of an event. For event managers, this technology offers new ways to provide personalised and immersive experiences for corporate attendees.
Capabilities of Smart Venues Using Event Management Software
• Identify high-traffic areas to inform booth placement • Use mobile ticketing for paperless check-ins, reducing wait times • Enable attendees to order food and engage in event activities via mobile apps • Share real-time updates through push notifications • Assist attendees with instant communication on parking and venue navigation |
Wearable Tech for Enhanced Interaction
Beyond fitness trackers and smartwatches, wearable IoT devices can offer attendees a unique and interactive experience. With event software driving these devices, attendees can easily exchange contact information and engage with digital content throughout the venue. Event tech like Klik’s SmartBadge has led to a significant increase in exhibitor leads by facilitating effortless networking.

AI-Powered Event Management
The event management industry is transforming with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), providing easy-to-use tools and insights that streamline planning and enhance attendee experiences. Thanks to AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants, attendees can receive instant support, have questions instantly answered, and receive personalised recommendations. This virtual assistance leads to a better experience for the attendees and reduces the workload on staff members.
Using predictive analytics based on historical event data, event planners can forecast trends, attendee preferences, and logistical challenges. This data gives event planners the ability to address potential issues before they arise and tailor events to exceed expectations.
Digital Swag Bags
Digital swag bags offer an eco-friendly alternative to traditional physical giveaways. These virtual bags can be distributed through event management software apps, featuring e-vouchers, digital content, and exclusive online experiences, reducing waste and offering lasting value beyond the event.
What Goes in a Digital Swag Bag?
• Educational gifts: ebooks, whitepapers, audiobooks• Participation gifts: app subscriptions, virtual fitness passes, certificate of attendance • Event essentials: speaker bios, event agenda, venue map • Monetary gifts: gift cards, discounts, coupons |
Leveraging Big Data for Enhanced Event Experiences
Big data can offer valuable insights into the preferences and behaviours of attendees, making it possible for event planners to create more targeted and effective events. By analysing attendee data in event software and CRM systems, you can personalise communication and content, predict future trends, minimise risk or crises, and deliver a more customised attendee experience.
Thanks to data analytics, event planners can tailor every aspect of the event to match the attendees' preferences, from agenda and workshops to entertainment and networking opportunities. This level of personalisation can significantly improve attendee satisfaction and engagement. Data analytics allow you to better manage your time and make quick, informed decisions about your event. By tracking patterns and trends in real-time, you can modify schedules, layouts, and content to optimise the event experience.
Take Your Corporate Events to the Next Level
As we look to the future, integrating these technologies will continue to redefine what's possible in the world of corporate events, offering exciting prospects for both planners and attendees alike. By embracing the power of event management software, you can create more impactful, efficient, and memorable corporate experiences, impressing attendees, and encouraging repeat attendees.
