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.”
TECHžinios
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.
Be „EventTech Tours“, „Inspiration Hub“ parodos metu vyksta beveik 40 edukacinių užsiėmimų, apimančių įvairius technologijų aspektus ir sulaukia didelio susidomėjimo.
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.”
„#IMEXpitch“ renginyje planuotojai ne tik patyrė naujausių technologijų raidą, bet ir kai kurias technologijas, kurios gali sukelti bangas pramonėje. Renginių technologijų startuoliai turėjo galimybę parodoje pristatyti savo produktus renginių profesionalų auditorijai. Penki finalininkai savo gaminius pristatė gyvai publikai. Londone esantis „Grip“ – pirmasis pasaulyje dirbtiniu intelektu paremtas renginių tinklo sprendimas – ekspertų vertinimo komisija karūnavo nugalėtoju.
„Grip“ kitų metų parodoje, be spaudos ir rinkodaros, gaus laisvą vietą Technologijų paviljone.
IMEX America šiuo metu vyksta Sands Expo ir konferencijų centre The Venetian® | „Palazzo® Las Vegas“ 18 m. spalio 20–2016 d., prieš tai vyks išmanusis pirmadienis, spalio 17 d.
