Al Wynant, CEO of EventInterface.com, the exclusive sponsor of Event TALK here on EPN joins the show. Al is here to talk about using technology to enhance events, what you need to consider before implementing technology, and best practices.
Listen to Eric Dye & Al Wynant discuss the following:
- You have been planning events for a while, and tools used by planners must have changed significantly over the years?
- What do you see as current or developing technology trends in the meeting-planning world?
- How can planners incorporate technology to make the planning of events easier, and what should they think about when looking at implementing technology for their events?
- It is not just about planning, but also marketing and public relations. It seems that everyone wants to use social media tied to their events and meetings; how effective is that and how do you see that evolve?
- Aside of planning support and social media, how can technology be used to engage attendees?
- As planning budgets have grown a bit tighter over the past years, are there ways to generate more revenue using technologies?
- What are your top 3 tips for planners considering increasing the use of technology with their event?
