26、 of each event can provide better support than an anonymous team operating an 800 number.Your CSM should ensure youre aware of product enhancements and guide you on better leveraging the platform to achieve event success.They should also solicit your feedback regularly and surface any insights or su

29、il and less than 5 minutes by phone).Be wary of Service Level Agreements that do not specify a minimum support response time or have carve-outs for specific modules.Organizers often prefer to find the answer themselves,which is why an exceptional customer service experience should be complemented by

30、 self-service resources,like a Knowledge Base,in-product walkthroughs,and even AI-based solutions that provide recommendations,answer basic questions,and suggest helpful resources.2.Why the Basics Shouldnt Be Basic:Upgrade Registration&BadgingRegistration is often your first opportunity to make an i

36、rd.Now,were seeing a new evolution from traditional laminated or plastic-encased badges to smart wearable badges,like Bizzabos Klik SmartBadgeTM.Traditional badges merely shared an attendees name,title,and company.More recent badges have incorporated QR codes to capture leads for EVENT TECH ALMANAC

37、2024-CUSTOM-MADE TECH FOR TODAYS ON-DEMAND WORLD13 -exhibitors,but this has led to awkward encounters.Who among us hasnt had a phone camera aimed at the QR code hanging around our chest for 5-10 seconds until it scans?Brandable on both the front and back,smart badges feature a small Bluetooth device

38、 that enables next-level engagement,networking,and ROI.By simply“clicking”two badges near one another,attendees or exhibitors can easily exchange contact information.This technology drives a 389%increase in lead capture and a 250%increase in networking.Additionally,smart badges can be used to suppor

40、evalWhile the Freeman 2024 Exhibitor Trends Report found that nearly one-third of exhibitors consider an“industry-standard lead retrieval system”essential for enhancing ROI,I propose that we set a higher standard as an industry.As events become more interactive,immersive,and data-driven,the tools we

41、 use to harness leads must keep pace.Planners should look for three key features:ENHANCED ATTENDEE EXPERIENCE:A modern lead retrieval system should contribute to a positive attendee experience by facilitating natural networking opportunities.With Bizzabos Klik SmartBadge,the days of awkwardly asking

42、,“Can I scan your QR code?”are gone.Simple“click-to-connect”functionality enhances the user experience and increases the likelihood of connections.An analysis of 2023 event data showed that booth reps captured 389%more leads with Klik than traditional methods.INTEGRATION:Ensure your lead retrieval s

43、ystem integrates with your event tech stack.Its functionality should live directly within your event app,eliminating the need to switch between apps.Your leads should also sync regularly with your CRM,helping your organization bridge the gap between lead capture and conversion.REAL-TIME DATA:Beyond

47、 Kristen Koenig,Regional Vice President of Video,RingCentral Events.AI Emerges as the New Productivity AllyAI is leaving its mark on virtually every industry,and event technology is no exception.With event marketers facing increased demands with limited resources,AI is emerging as an incredibly powe

48、rful ally in streamlining workflow.It can play a key role in optimizing a variety of event planning tasks such as copywriting,video production,audience engagement,and post-event interactions.There are two key categories of AI applications within event technology:1.Streamlining Event Management and C

51、of their content beyond the event.New AI video editors are stepping in to help accelerate this process by generating attention-grabbing highlight clips,even tailoring them to specific channels.2.Personalizing the Attendee Experience TAILORED SESSIONS:In a sea of sessions and speakers at large confer

55、ot just timely but also impactful.Customization Is Key to Event GoalsEvery organization has a distinct brand and personality that they want to shine through in their events.Marketers spend significant time and money communicating their brand across their websites,social media,advertisements,content

56、and events should be no different.When it comes to event technology,customization plays a pivotal role in ensuring that each event reflects the unique brand identity and objectives of its organizer.Clients often prioritize customization in three key areas:branding,personalization,and integrations.Br

57、anding:Clients desire more than just standard branding features;they want a robust solution that seamlessly embeds their brand across every facet of the event platform,essentially almost whitelabeling.This entails customizing URLs,fonts,logos,and color palettes to effectively communicate brand ident

58、ity.Think about an event website its the core promotional asset for an event.Its where all the elements of a brand purpose,value proposition,name,logo,tagline,imagery,colors,and typography come together to make an event stand out and help attract registrants.These elements not only establish visual

59、consistency but also evoke emotions and foster meaningful connections with attendees,reinforcing the events promised experience.EVENT TECH ALMANAC 2024-CUSTOM-MADE TECH FOR TODAYS ON-DEMAND WORLD16 -Personalization:In addition to branding,clients prioritize personalization features that allow them t

60、o tailor the event experience to the preferences of their audience.This might involve customizing terminology and interface elements.For example,a Salesforce event might rename the people tab to ohana to resonate with their community.Event organizers need this flexibility to truly make the event fee

62、age their existing tech infrastructure to enhance the event experience and drive meaningful outcomes.For RingCentral Events,our top integrations include apps for Hubspot,Marketo,Salesforce,Mailchimp,and more.Events also offer a chance to build meaningful connections and foster engagement among parti

63、cipants,and apps can help them reach these goals.RingCentral Events has an App Marketplace of 40+no-code apps that can easily be embedded into the experience whether its quizzes,polling,photo booths,certifications,or other popular add-ons.In addition,for those organizers who want to create a truly b

64、espoke app experience,we offer a custom app area where they can build directly on top of our product.Integration Offerings Should Match eCommerce AppsI firmly believe that an event organizer should only choose an event tech platform that has a strong technology partnership ecosystem.While many event

65、 tech providers offer some integrations,finding a provider that is taking the approach of Salesforce,AppExchange,or Amazon Marketplace will provide event organizers with the best possible experience.Thats why RingCentral Events has been so focused on building out what I think is the most robust app

66、marketplace available.These are the top four categories we see integrated:MarTech Apps:The biggest integrations we see leveraged are with products like Hubspot,Marketo,Salesforce,Mailchimp and more.Your event marketing stack must integrate directly into your MarTech of choice to streamline pre-and p

73、ion with customer support.Work Smarter:3 Steps to Better Lead RetrievalFor many event planners,the biggest driver for sponsoring and attending events is the potential for lead generation,and a strategic approach is essential.Here are three steps to high-performing lead capture:1.COLLECT DATA:Real-ti

74、me access to lead information empowers exhibitors to not only promptly engage with potential clients,but also to track their efficacy in real time.Swift capture of pertinent lead data including contact information,interests,and conversation highlights is critical.This information enables timely foll

75、ow-up actions,and promptness can mean the difference between an opportunity seized or lost.For this reason,a lead retrieval system must provide instant access to scanned leads.2.QUALIFY AND SEGMENT LEADS:Second,lead retrieval solutions must allow exhibitors to qualify and segment leads by interest l

76、evel such as through“hot,medium,and cold”labels.To go deeper,use branching surveys to allow EVENT TECH ALMANAC 2024-CUSTOM-MADE TECH FOR TODAYS ON-DEMAND WORLD19 -advanced segmentation of leads by specific preferences or interests,enabling more customized follow-ups.3.CATEGORIZE LEADS BY PROFESSIONA

77、L PERSONA:Third,exhibitors should be able to segment their leads using more than just their interest level.This includes predefined criteria such as budget size,purchase timeframe,or decision-making authority.By further refining qualified leads,sales teams can prioritize follow-up efforts and alloca

78、te resources more effectively.The breadth and flexibility available in lead retrieval solutions like Stovas give exhibitors the ability to maximize ROI by helping them qualify and convert leads faster and more effectively.Design With Intentionality:Checklists for Registration&Badging While a robust

79、lead retrieval system is key,it relies on a strong foundation from well-designed registration and badging solutions.Stova has its roots in both,and I believe that seamless registration and badging are the“make or break”of any good event.Registration is your attendees first interaction with your orga

80、nizations event.It is where you gather the first data points and interests of your attendees insights that can inform interactions with your audience before,during,and after the event.As the heartbeat of your event,a seamless registration and badging experience can significantly enhance attendee per

85、t sustainability.By leveraging Near Field Communication(NFC),badges can also have built-in add-ons,such as ticketing or drink vouchers.This eliminates the need for separate physical tokens,reducing material consumption and simplifying the attendee experience.Embrace Efficiency:A Guide to Integration

86、sIntegration is another central factor that allows planners to take full advantage of technology in the most efficient way possible.Its incredibly important to Stova customers,particularly when it comes to data and insights.The most common integrations we see today are:1.CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGE

87、MENT(CRM)SOLUTIONS:CRM integrations like Salesforce stand out as the top tool all clients need to be able to integrate with their event technology.A Salesforce or other CRM integration allows for a more automated process into lead and marketing follow-up.2.HOUSING:As housing plays a critical role in

88、 the attendee experience and event logistics,integrating housing tools such as Passkey with your event tech solution is a top request from planners.This integration into Stovas registration platform allows event planners to follow the attendees journey,send emails to help them finish registration,an

89、d send confirmations including hotel reservations.3.GOOGLE ANALYTICS:Google Analytics serves as a powerful marketing analytics tool.Integration with event tech solutions like Stovas allows organizers to gain comprehensive visibility into attendee engagement and marketing effectiveness.This includes

90、tracking attendee interactions,monitoring website performance,and optimizing marketing strategies in real-time.Planners should consider the following when working with your technology provider to ensure seamless integrations:1.DISCOVERY AND SCOPING:Collaborate closely with your event tech partners s

91、o they understand your unique needs and objectives.Working with your tech provider to outline your goals will enable them to tailor integration solutions accordingly.2.OPEN API AND MIDDLEWARE INTEGRATION:Open Application Programming Interfaces(APIs)play a pivotal role in enabling seamless integratio

92、n with diverse systems and platforms.Ask your event tech partners to prioritize the development of open APIs,which allow seamless integration with your existing CRMs.Additionally,middleware integration tools can bridge the gap between disparate systems.Integration enables seamless data exchange and

93、enhances operational efficiency,allowing organizers to unlock the full potential of their event technology investments.EVENT TECH ALMANAC 2024-CUSTOM-MADE TECH FOR TODAYS ON-DEMAND WORLD21 -Lean Into Support:Customer ServiceSupport response time also plays a pivotal role in ensuring seamless operati

94、ons and customer satisfaction.For this reason,planners should require response time benchmarks in their service level agreements(SLAs)before contracting.At Stova,we prioritize customer service with 24/7/365 coverage,ensuring that clients have immediate access to assistance via phone,email,or chat.Th

95、is accessibility is paramount,particularly in an industry characterized by diverse time zones and non-traditional working hours.Support should always be available regardless of geographic location or time constraints.Exceptional customer service today,however,extends beyond support response times.It

96、 means acting as a true partner,with your account team collaborating to create the best event possible by providing expert advice and recommendations.Lean on them to provide best practices for each event,but also work with them holistically to understand your overall event ecosystem and identify way

105、DAYS ON-DEMAND WORLD25 -When it comes to event technology offerings,the largest group of companies offers what they consider to be an all-in-one platform.With almost 40%of platforms offering an all-in-one solution,this suggests this is the top preference among planners,who understandably would rathe

106、r not toggle between services to accomplish their goals.The capabilities of these platforms allow satisfied planners and event companies to do the bulk of their event management in one place,cutting down on the number of systems to learn and use.It is also easier for the finance and operations depar

107、tment to keep track of ROI when evaluating one vendor.Data integration and branding are the most common features within these multifaceted platforms.This aligns with the importance of collecting information during an event life cycle while highlighting why individual meetings are worth the time and

108、resources to commit travel time.Interestingly,almost 80%of the surveyed companies provide white-label servicing so clients can completely remove the tech providers branding on websites,apps,and event portals.But is this how the event technology industry is playing out?To some degree,the answer is a

119、ity(56%)say that competition is similar to last year,competition has increased for around 30%of companies surveyed.Recent mergers and acquisitions may have shifted this and are likely to continue to impact the sector.Some success appears to trickle down to niche event types like company-focused inve

120、stor calls,which focus on getting to business quickly without requiring social interaction between participants.HigherThe sameLowerCompetition Compared to Last Year12.2%9.5%12.2%9.5%9.5%8.1%16.2%56.0%29.8%14.3%HigherThe sameLowerDemand Compared to Last Year12.2%9.5%12.2%9.5%9.5%8.1%16.2%84.3%10.8%4.

121、8%Such a wealth of good news can be interpreted as a sign that the fallout from the decline in virtual events has plateaued,and the top companies have emerged as reliable options.Greater confidence in event technologys standing should open the door for creativity and innovation that will not only le

122、ad to new business but will also add to experiences at trade shows,during corporate meetings,and more.EVENT TECH ALMANAC 2024-CUSTOM-MADE TECH FOR TODAYS ON-DEMAND WORLD29 -Is Less More?When virtual events replaced in-person meetings in 2020,a new event technology startup would seemingly enter the m

123、arketplace weekly.The pace could not last,and nor did it.Some of the most notable success storieswhen measured by investor and user interesthave only recently dropped by the wayside.Those that remain have been fully vetted by planners and event companies integrating technology into their events to c

124、reate dynamic experiences from registration to post-event evaluation.As discussed earlier,the number of events and users reliant on leading platforms is remarkable.With fewer choices available,planners are more apt to strike long-term partnerships that benefit both parties.Consistency in technology

125、vendors gives the events team time to learn the full power of the tools they use,thus improving the experience for attendees.On the other hand,the longer a vendor works with a client,the better it understands needs and can anticipate pain pointsand limit the impact of any potential challenge.The goo

126、d and bad news is that event tech companies are busier than ever.One obvious downside of increased workloads is that they threaten support time,which,as we will examine soon,is becoming an increasingly important barometer for measuring working relationships.Faster response shows dedication to a clie

127、nt and extends toward the general need for planners to feel like their events are treated as unique projects and not just a turnkey operation.Next,we take a deep dive into the vast realm of customizationthe Holy Grail of setting competing meetings apart from one another to convince prospective atten

128、dees to be physical ones.EVENT TECH ALMANAC 2024-CUSTOM-MADE TECH FOR TODAYS ON-DEMAND WORLD30 -DEAL-BREAKERSEVENT TECH ALMANAC 2024-CUSTOM-MADE TECH FOR TODAYS ON-DEMAND WORLD31 -Technology companies are adapting to anticipate planners prerequisites to maintain a win over new partners.The data sugg

129、ests certain dealbreakersitems that,if a technology vendor doesnt offer,they wont acquire new business.Consider these the highest priorities for event tech that planners have on their checklists.Robust Data ReportingWith event data being increasingly valued,it may be obvious that most event tech pla

130、tforms surveyed(81%)offer robust data reporting.Performing a thorough event analysis is a prerequisite to studying an events effectiveness.This information can be used to develop improved agendas,create more compelling content,maintain a more accurate database,and more accurately assess an events RO

131、I.While the details of what robust data reporting looks like in practice may vary,one feature that supports this nicely is live dashboards.Having live data features in this manner allows for a real-time analysis that gauges the effectiveness of activations,presentations,signage,and more.The ability

132、to make corrections on the fly goes a long way toward improving the experience for exhibitors and attendees alike.Such abilities have become important that 86%of event technology companies in this almanac offer live data dashboards.Systems IntegrationEvent planners dont want technologies working in

133、silos(just as the event teams should work with marketing members,salespersons,etc.).The ability to sync programs to smooth the events process,from recruitment to registration to post-event reporting,is vital.When working properly,the ability of event software to share data can save hours of time,to

134、say nothing,and avoid duplicative effort from various teams.This also limits attendees time entering their information while adding time for delegates to enjoy the event.It is not a coincidence that integration tops our surveys list as the most common technology feature offered by 87%of respondents.

135、Stellar SupportPlanners pay important dollars for event technology and expect it to work as they envision it.Vendors must be able to respond quickly to any challenges to keep the event on track.Every second counts to planners,to the point that support response time is included in 75%of finalized con

136、tacts between technology companies and their clients.EVENT TECH ALMANAC 2024-CUSTOM-MADE TECH FOR TODAYS ON-DEMAND WORLD32 -Customized BrandingTo stand out,every element of an event needs to pop.This is especially true in forward-facing technology like websites,apps,marketing materials,and platforms

137、.Relatedly,more events seek white labeling to keep the focus on the event and not on their tech partner.This is not a nice-to-have element and a sure deal breaker for corporate brands where the look and feel of their events is a crucial component.Its little wonder branding tied with live data report

138、ing as the second most common(84%)featured event technology companies provide.Data SecurityWe live in a world of multiple-factor authorizations.Attendees and executives are on high alert when it comes to protecting IDs and other vital data.A slip-up wont be tolerated and could have lasting effects f

139、or years.Technology companies cant afford to cut corners with security measures,and planners cant assume all appropriate measures are being taken.Nearly three-quarters of the technology companies surveyed(73.8%)grant clients sole ownership of user data by default.The remainder have a shared ownershi

140、p of user data,which may enable better benchmarking and customization but raises issues for organizations with stringent data privacy policies.CustomizationAbove all else,planners are looking to make all event elements their own.This includes branding but extends to registration systems,CMS programs

141、,etc.The reality is customization is not a line item on a checklist.It must be a thought process that permeates throughout a company.Think of it as Customer Service 101make sure your customer walks away from a situation better off than they entered it.One-size-fits-all solutions rarely prove satisfa

142、ctory.Questions about customization are among the top three asked by prospective(35%)and existing(43%)clients.EVENT TECH ALMANAC 2024-CUSTOM-MADE TECH FOR TODAYS ON-DEMAND WORLD33 -FEATURES,PRICING,AND SUPPORTEVENT TECH ALMANAC 2024-CUSTOM-MADE TECH FOR TODAYS ON-DEMAND WORLD34 -Support centers are

143、accustomed to being on call for clients.That does not seem to justify the demands placed on event technology teams.Perhaps a more fitting description is a cue from todays on-demand culture,in which users consume content when their schedule allows it and on their chosen device.Planners are,fairly or

144、unfairly,depending on your point of view,requesting more from their vendors at rates and time frames that may not always be feasible.For technology companies,this means user-friendly platforms that are intuitive on the backend and attractive to the outside world.Support should be instantaneous,and a

145、ll features should fit within their budget.Such demands could be good negotiating tactics,unrealistic expectations,or a little of both.Technology providers,for their part,are coming prepared with a list of features that cover many of the bases while providing options to level up.This software-as-a-s

146、ervice(SaaS)mindset conflicts with planners desire for custom tools built just for them(but at SaaS prices).EVENT TECH ALMANAC 2024-CUSTOM-MADE TECH FOR TODAYS ON-DEMAND WORLD35 -The Best of Both WorldsAbout 30%of technology companies that responded to the survey think they can attribute business to

147、 a fully featured platform,also cited as many of these companies main focus.The desire to have a full suite of tools appears insufficient for planners,who also like to keep the door open to customize their products as much as needed.At least when it comes to custom branding,event technology is ready

148、 for it,with 84%of respondents offering custom branding options.Branding/customization was among the top questions prospective and existing clients asked.Planners are not unique in wanting to be treated as individuals,and to be fair,an event is certainly more marketable if it stands out through mark

149、eting initiatives.The fact that 70%of clients want the option to white label their offerings signals the pressures event producers face to prevent the spotlight from shifting to a sponsor or supplier.Event technology providers are not sitting idly as the situation shifts.There are myriad options,inc

150、luding tiered pricing and add-on features.Almost all respondents(95%)said their companies allow planners to purchase only one aspect of a platform,which can make a difference in the quest to customize an event experience fully.Nothing demonstrates the value of inclusion like the ability to offer mat

151、erials in multiple languages.Thankfully,more than half of the event tech platforms included can deliver products in up to seven languages,and almost 80%offer at least two languages.Such steps go a long way toward ensuring more attendees can make the most of their meetings and events.Top FeaturesAmon

152、g the most intriguing data points is that prospective and existing clients commonly ask for a platforms abilities.Top Sales Questions from Prospects1.Features(79%)2.Price(69%)3.Branding/customization(35%)Top Support Questions from Existing Clients1.Features(56%)2.Branding/customization(43%)3.How to

153、use features(42%)This seems natural for prospects as they want to know what they are buying into.For existing clients,there are multiple explanations.One is that the queries signal the desire to use their product efficiently,leading to a robust and unique offering to attendees and suppliers.Another

154、is that staff are not familiar with or confident using the platform.This could result from the event industrys transient nature leading to knowledge gapsa natural result of onboarding new employees.A less desirable theory from the perspective of event technology companies is the platforms are not us

155、er-friendly enough for staff members.A best-case scenario for both sides appears to be long-term partnerships that allow time for onboarding and training and provide a showcase for the platform and the event it is being used to help promote.EVENT TECH ALMANAC 2024-CUSTOM-MADE TECH FOR TODAYS ON-DEMA

156、ND WORLD36 -and-take over add-ons and services can lead to a more nuanced quote from companies,who are trying to take as many variables into account.While some companies still charge by the number of attendees/users(a formerly common practice),the model has shifted toward base prices with the option

157、 to upgrade to higher tiers or pay for additional capabilities.Planners have a plethora of options when selecting a pricing model for event technology.There is no industry standard for charging for event tech.Should competition continue to grow between technology companies,as seems likely,planners w

158、ill have the upper hand in negotiatingmeaning varied options will be made available to lock in business.Creating prudent expectations is an important step of the onboarding process so planners can understand the value provided.Extending business relationships also facilitates discussions for improvi

159、ng past performances and helps develop achievable baselines.Price PointsThe tug-of-war between event tech platform providers and planners extends to cost.Naturally,technology companies seek comprehensive,long-term partnerships that allow organizations to better plan for the future.On the other hand,

160、planners seek the best deals possible by pushing to get more for less,thus increasing the return on the vendor investment.Technology vendors offer planners myriad options to get new clients in the door and maintain existing relationships,who can choose an la carte approach or go all-in.Not surprisin

164、ent companies surveyed go as far as to commit to prompt service in their contracts.Time Is MoneyThe old adage remains true,particularly in the world of events.Yes,cost is important,but so is time.Planners are so busy planning multiple events concurrently that tools that speed the process are invalua

165、ble.Many in the industry can remember the days of manually inputting data into spreadsheets,and eliminating that need can be worth the entire platforms cost.As technology has advanced,developing the ability for programs to talk to one another in the platform allows for robust data collection,reporti

166、ng,and analysisall beneficial to improving marketing,building stronger databases,and adjusting agendas as needed.Survey respondents proved this need by saying that more than 30%of existing and prospective clients seek support for integrating data.In sync with this demand,integration options,such as

167、webhooks and open APIs that seamlessly transfer data between systems and teams,are the most common features event tech companies provide.Response TimeAlong those same lines,there is a distinct emphasis on quick customer support.Indeed,technology companies are being evaluated based on how quickly the
