Day by day event industry evolving and adopting new event technology . Rapid change of event industry and technology forces event organizers to adopt new technology for their events.

Does anyone in this community have experience using AR to enhance their events? Giving attendees a little something extra if they join the conference app, maybe it could be directions or allow them to see information about their fellow attendees. I have seen examples of big companies and brands doing a few things with AR at their events, but can't find anything accessible for the smaller guys out there. Was thinking of prototyping something myself but not sure if people would be interested. Let me know your thoughts!

Hi everybody,

I am a UX Design student at FlatIron x Designation school. My team and I are working on a project involving event management. If you've ever managed or hosted an event and want to help us to create a perfect platform could you please fill out this short (5 min) survey? We would really appreciate it.

Thank you

Want an exhibitor to get the most out of their time onsite at your event? Then lead retrieval is a must. With a quick scan of an attendee’s badge, an exhibitor not only gets that attendee's information, but they’re also able to easily take notes and assign specific qualifiers unique to that lead. GTR has lead retrieval solutions that are perfect for any type of exhibitor. Check them out - https://gtrnow.com/lead-retrieval-devices/

How do you schedule staff for your events? How do you confirm their availability and get updates on last-minute no-shows? Or, if you've been staff for an event, how do you confirm your availability to the manager? I'm a student at RED Academy in Toronto and my team and I are working on a platform for event staff scheduling. To do that, we need your input. Taking a moment to fill out our survey would be greatly appreciated: https://forms.gle/cPdF4GsYBRvgAGVw7 :)

Feel free to leave questions or feedback on the survey in the comments below. Thanks so much!

If you are an event planner, you probably know that pre-printing badges is a big headache considering the effort and time spent on this manual job. The good news is, I found a way you do not have to do this anymore, because the attendees can do this by themselves when they arrive at the event using a self-printing badge kiosk.

I'm writing a blog post and would love to collect insights from event professionals about whether they feel like event marketing is really making a difference in their business' bottom line. Have you had measurable ROI success? Do you have an event tech stack you love? Do you have any suggestions for managing an events team? Basically-- how are you making event marketing WORK for you in 2018?

Happy to credit and link any responses in my post, just let me know if you're interested in being quoted.

i am organizing a event for my course, this event was done yearly, i was not the original organizer, i became a organizer because the original bailed out. i was told that the university would pay the event tickets to event called amaze in Berlin, but we had to pay for the flights and accommodation. the interest form was 26 people and i showed this to the head of school, he then said he would pay when everyone has booked. so we eventually booked 29 people. i game this number to the head of school and he said that was too much people. now we wont get the amaze event tickets. my questions is would any of you be able to get this offer cheaper in anyway, it would help a lot.

Bank on Hubilo’s online event registration and ticketing platform to reduce the hassle of managing event registrations and ticketing for your next event. Take free demo to learn how.

Event ticketing companies like Eventbrite and Ticketmaster have outrageously expensive fees. I found this company called Tikkit which has 5% fees and tried it and it worked great - www.tikkit.io

Anyone else know of other ticketing platforms? Or is this the most cost effective one on the market today?
