Forget the pen and paper. Today’s event planners rely on technology to get the job done. No matter if you’re managing multiple tasks related to an event, keeping your team in order, or communicating with clients, you’ll likely use a digital project management tool. There’s not one perfect tool for every event. Depending on your needs, budget, and event size, you might find that one program works better than others.

Presentations have been around for a long time. In fact, it is difficult to see someone that does not relate to the feeling of getting stuck in a room, then seeing a presenter slowly flip through different slides. Not only is that not an entertaining way to share information, unfortunately, it can also be a great way to put an audience to sleep. All event planners know the importance of drawing the attention of an audience using compelling information.

Event gamification is not what you think! You may have been led to believe that by just downloading an app you’re ready to gamify an event. But, does this really work? Will this improve the quality of the event you’re organizing? If you haven’t already figured it out, the answer is “no”. That’s because technology is merely the tool for gamification, it isn’t the strategy or the solution.

AV can make or break your event. Great AV and your event will run seamlessly. AV should enhance your event vision and help you achieve your goals. On the other hand, event AV mistakes can leave your guests wishing they never came and can make your event the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons. A bad AV mistake like projectors that stop working during your keynote bringing the presentation to a halt, will make attendees immediately regret coming.
