Technology is an event planner’s best friend. Harnessing technology not only bolsters an event’s design and attendee experience, but it also streamlines the entire planning process. BizBash recently highlighted a few new and updated tech tools for meetings and events.
- EventCombois the Expedia of event planning. The program allows event attendees to purchase tickets and abundles them with other purchases relevant to the event, such as parking, merchandise, and meals from neighboring restaurants.
- Metoo is a newly-updated, real-time polling and messaging app from Lumi. Recent updates now allow event attendees to use the system anonymously, which could boost future participation rates.
- com’s new Event Assistant App simplifies the check-in process for both event hosts and attendees. Organizers can manually search for attendees or take advantage of voice search and a QR scanner – which can save a lot of time.
- DoubleDutchharnesses increasingly-important event data and boasts an easy-to-use interface to track attendee behavior, so event hosts can provide personalized follow-ups.
Technology streamlines the entire event planning process, but you still need an experienced team of planners to provide crucial insights and advice. Need a voice of reason? Partner with McVeigh Global Meetings and Events today!
