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.”
TECHknowledge
Esperti huma disponibbli biex iwasslu sessjonijiet tat-teknoloġija mmirati, TECHbytes, iwieġbu mistoqsijiet dwar suġġetti jaħarqu bħal Snapchat, Slack, OneNote u teknoloġija li jintlibes, u jiggwidaw lill-viżitaturi permezz tal-aħħar teknoloġija fil-Gadget Lab.
Minbarra l-EventTech Tours, fl-Inspiration Hub qed isiru kważi 40 sessjoni edukattiva li jkopru diversi aspetti tat-teknoloġija waqt l-ispettaklu u qed jiġbdu interess kbir.
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.”
Minbarra li esperjenzaw l-aħħar żviluppi tat-teknoloġija, il-pjanifikaturi kellhom ukoll idea ta 'xi wħud mit-teknoloġija stabbilita biex tagħmel mewġ fl-industrija fil-#IMEXpitch. Start-ups tat-teknoloġija tal-avvenimenti kellhom l-opportunità li juru l-prodotti tagħhom lil udjenza ta’ professjonisti tal-avvenimenti fl-ispettaklu. Il-ħames finalisti ppreżentaw il-prodotti tagħhom lil udjenza diretta. Grip ibbażata f’Londra, l-ewwel soluzzjoni ta’ netwerking ta’ avvenimenti li taħdem bl-intelliġenza artifiċjali fid-dinja, ġiet inkurunata rebbieħa minn bord ta’ ġudizzju espert.
Grip se jirċievi spazju b'xejn fuq il-Padiljun tat-Teknoloġija fl-ispettaklu tas-sena d-dieħla minbarra l-espożizzjoni għall-istampa u l-marketing.
IMEX America bħalissa qed isseħħ fis-Sands Expo and Convention Centre f'The Venetian® | Il-Palazzo® Las Vegas mit-18 sal-20 ta ’Ottubru 2016, preċedut minn Smart Monday, is-17 ta’ Ottubru.
