tracking and interaction with event activi- ties,” she notes. “Gamification enables event managers to collect data on what types of entertainment keep attendees involved in certain activities.”


Geriot adds that email marketing can pro- vide information on which topics excite potential attendees based on open rates and link clicks, too.


She further explains how important cus- tomized mobile apps have become in terms of event technology tools, not just for the event planner, but for attendees, exhibitors and sponsors also.


"Conference mobile apps are used 50 to 100 times per day, per attendee on-site,” Geriot explains. “Whether users are open- ing the app to view their schedules, con- nect with another attendee or just explor- ing the app. There are so many features and so much functionality available through mobile conference apps: sched- ule builders, access to conference materi- als, maps with pin drops to the meeting location, ways for attendees to network with others, ask questions of speakers, real time push notifications, and the mobile app also provides a tremendous opportu- nity for conference sponsors to reach important prospects."


Without question, technology plays a sig- nificant role in the successful outcome of meetings and events. Its use has become so commonplace both at home and at the office that tech sometimes goes almost unnoticed by attendees until something is no longer working as expected.


For this reason, partnering with professional, experienced audio-visual, lighting and technology companies is so critically important. The right professional partners can help to ensure that all will go according to plan. They also can introduce new, exciting and engaging technologies to help make the most out of the attendees’ event experience.
