Planners are sampling the latest tech solutions for event planning, budgeting and sourcing at the TECHknowledge Area at IMEX America.
Tahira Endean, on the “Top Five Women in EventTech” panel said: “The exhibitors have been very helpful in putting the technology into context. We’ve also had great feedback from the buyers who’ve been on the tours.”
It’s no secret that the best way to understand and learn to use new technology is to see it in action. Meeting planners at IMEX America, currently taking place in Las Vegas, have been finding out about event technology and meeting the experts behind the latest innovations in a new series of EventTech Tours running throughout the show. Led by Tahira, the tours feature several companies who are leading the way in technology for the meetings and event sector.
Carrie Drummond of Ansible by Red Hat, who took part in one of the tours said: “I’m really happy I came on this tour. It’s given me a short taste and insight into several types of technologies that I only know a little about and which are not on my appointment schedule.”
TECH-teadmised
Experts are on hand to deliver targeted technology sessions, TECHbytes, answering questions on hot topics such as Snapchat, Slack, OneNote and wearable technology, and guiding visitors through the latest tech in the Gadget Lab.
Lisaks EventTech Toursidele toimub saate ajal Inspiratsioonikeskuses ligi 40 tehnoloogia eri aspekte hõlmavat koolitust, mis äratavad suurt huvi.
In the run up to the show, buyers have also had the chance to use Zenvoy, a new networking technology. IMEX has introduced this one-to-one business introduction service for professionals, groups & events to enable buyers to meet like-minded colleagues and make better contacts more easily at the event. Joanna Oliver of EmCare said, “I’m excited to see IMEX doing this, it helps to find expertise easily, to share experiences and make valuable connections.”
Lisaks uusimate tehnoloogiaarengute kogemisele said planeerijad #IMEXpitchil aimu ka mõnest tehnoloogiast, mis on seatud selles valdkonnas laineid lööma. Sündmustehnoloogia idufirmadel oli näitusel võimalus oma tooteid ürituste professionaalidest koosnevale publikule esitleda. Viis finalisti esitlesid oma tooteid otsepublikule. Londonis asuv Grip, maailma esimene tehisintellekti toel ürituste võrgulahendus, krooniti võitjaks ekspertide hindamiskomisjoni poolt.
Grip saab järgmise aasta näitusel lisaks ajakirjandusele ja turundusele vaba ruumi Tehnoloogiapaviljonis.
IMEX America toimub praegu The Venetian® |i Sandsi näituse- ja konverentsikeskuses Palazzo® Las Vegas 18.–20. oktoobril 2016, millele eelneb nutikas esmaspäev, 17. oktoober.
