What is one of the most important aspects of an event? Which factor
can impact its success or failure? The scientific programme? Keynote speakers
or the venue?
Let me give you a hint: thanks to this tool, you are now able to
read this blogpost.
T _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ y[1] has been shaping the world
we live in now for about twenty years: society, education, politics and the
event industry have been influenced largely by it. Connecting attendees at
events through the available technology is a must. Providing a fast, reliable
internet access and developing new, different and exclusive tools to engage
audiences in their event experience have become priorities.
What are the opportunities that event organizers need to take
advantage of? What will be the radical changes in the upcoming decades? Let’s
take out our magic “crystal ball” and have a look at latest trends and event
innovations!
The article posted on EventBrite is all about the event of the
future and presents a list of potential instruments that event managers will be
able to implement at their own events. The “supernet” of the Project Loon
providing the world with internet access would allow event professionals to
give delegates the fastest connectivity. Combining the supernet with obtaining
big data would let professionals make more precise predictions and analytics.
Knowing how many events your attendee has been to, which ones he preferred and
to which ones he would likely go to is the ace-card in the event organizer’s
hand. AR could transform your venue into a fully new experience, VR would let
your audience participate in events remotely, autonomous cars could lead the
delegate to the event and giving him a sneak-preview of the day’s programme
(expo, speakers etc.).
Telepathic communication? AI expanding human brain
capacities? Atlantis the lost underwater cities to be built in the future for
real?
Just the thought of having a telepathic conversation with someone
3000km away from you might seem surreal, but is this far away from a future
present? In our opinion, dreaming about how the event of the future will look
like is not only fun but also inspiring. It gives aspiring event managers like
SKEMA students new perspectives and motivations to design an experience.
