connect different attendees, especially if the venue is large and they’re too far away to make the session
in person. In the end, it’s all about engaging as many people as possible.  

2. Artificial Intelligence
- The use of artificial intelligence is on the rise because of its ability to customize experiences for
individuals while simultaneously bringing the community together .In general, AI helps associate certain
attendees with their field of work and interests which then ensures that the best, most helpful content
reaches the right people as soon as they need it. Example: Event chatbots, Facial recognition during event
registration, Voice translation and interpretation during panels,Event newsletter personalization.

3. Projection Mapping
-If you’re looking to enhance the attendee experience, an augmented reality technology
called projection mapping can create excitement and engagement. Videos, graphics, animation, and
other creative content are projected onto any surface, turning everyday structures into vibrant,
interactive 3D displays.

4. Event diagramming in 3D
-It’s essential to have a complete, detailed picture of an event layout to ensure effective floor plans,
seating, flow, foot traffic, lighting, cabling, and other room elements. Easy-to-use  3D event
diagramming software provides accurate, customizable, collaborative project planning regardless of
venue design or size.

5. Social Media Sentiment

-As event attendees connect on social media and comment on an event, you can evaluate hashtags,
@-mentions, emojis, and comments to determine varying levels of satisfaction. This data
underscores the importance of social media sentiment analysis in monitoring your brand and
messaging, keeping an eye on competitors, and makin g improvements to services during and after

 Large screen monitors/projectors
 Screen sharing
 Interactive white boards
 Touch-screens
 Virtual reality systems
 Lead capture devices
 Audience interaction/participation
 Social media displays
 Trade show or conference apps  (mobile)
