Although the evergreen tune “It’s a small world” was written back in 1963, it would only be half a century later that modern technology would truly transform the vast globe we live in, into a small one – where a person at one corner of the earth could interact with another at a completely different corner of our planet, almost instantaneously.
Technology has changed the world as we know it, and is making the event landscape a thoroughly exciting one.
For the first time in history, guests can attend an event while being a continent away, in the comfort of home (or just about anywhere else with a high speed internet or mobile data connection).
As an event planner, this opens up some really intriguing and creative opportunities.
Local events
Local events could eventually turn into a thing of the past. Finally, you can introduce your brand and latest products to the world, live.
Breaking news
In fact, there are already numerous conventions that run live streams so breaking news of new product launches can be done globally. (Which makes a lot of sense in today’s global economy.)
Engagement
With event apps, your audiences can not only watch your event live – they can participate in it by voting, asking questions and interacting with speakers as well as other audience members.
Audio-visual interaction
Ambitious event organisers may even plan to create a rich streaming experience that includes multiple cameras and devices, integrated with audio and visual effects that will not only immerse worldwide audiences into the event, but give them an enhanced event experience that even live audiences will not get to see.
