Event Tech Check: Innovations in Networking, Staffing, and Planning
In the ever-evolving world of event planning, staying informed about the latest technological advancements is crucial. This month, we explore new tools designed to enhance networking, streamline staffing, and simplify floor plan creation.
One standout example of cutting-edge event technology comes from Europalco, the largest provider of solutions for events in southern Europe, who created a captivating experience at the 36th Deloitte IRGAwards in Lisbon, Portugal. They created an immersive 360-degree environment with round screens and immersive audio. A KUKA robot took center stage, playing the piano alongside a human pianist, demonstrating the innovative harmony of human and machine.
New Solutions
To boost business connections at events, MatchPoint, a new AI-powered matchmaking mobile app, strives to seamlessly link attendees and vendors. MatchPoint’s patent-pending machine learning algorithm uses a sophisticated large language model (LLM) to optimize networking by matching users according to their individual preferences and goals. This helps them find the right connections with minimal effort, according to MatchPoint officials.
To simplify event staff scheduling, Event Staff App has introduced two innovations to its event staffing software suite. A QR code clock-in/out system allows staff to scan codes to clock in and out of their shifts. The app also now offers an offline access feature, allowing staff to view their shifts and important information even without an internet connection.
To quickly create event floor plans, Tripleseat, a cloud-based sales and event management solution, has integrated advanced technology from its recent Merri acquisition. This new Tripleseat Floorplans tool allows venues to create 2D floor plans in minutes, collaborate in real time with clients and team members, and offer immersive 3D walkthroughs.
Finally, asembl.group has launched venufindr, a brand designed to streamline the venue-finding process and offer clients access to an extensive catalog of venues.
