Planners are sampling the latest tech solutions for event planning, budgeting and sourcing at the TECHknowledge Area at IMEX America.
Tahira Endean, on the “Top Five Women in EventTech” panel said: “The exhibitors have been very helpful in putting the technology into context. We’ve also had great feedback from the buyers who’ve been on the tours.”
It’s no secret that the best way to understand and learn to use new technology is to see it in action. Meeting planners at IMEX America, currently taking place in Las Vegas, have been finding out about event technology and meeting the experts behind the latest innovations in a new series of EventTech Tours running throughout the show. Led by Tahira, the tours feature several companies who are leading the way in technology for the meetings and event sector.
Carrie Drummond of Ansible by Red Hat, who took part in one of the tours said: “I’m really happy I came on this tour. It’s given me a short taste and insight into several types of technologies that I only know a little about and which are not on my appointment schedule.”

In the run up to the show, buyers have also had the chance to use Zenvoy, a new networking technology. IMEX has introduced this one-to-one business introduction service for professionals, groups & events to enable buyers to meet like-minded colleagues and make better contacts more easily at the event. Joanna Oliver of EmCare said, “I’m excited to see IMEX doing this, it helps to find expertise easily, to share experiences and make valuable connections.”
Planlamacılar, en son teknolojik gelişmeleri deneyimlemenin yanı sıra, #IMEXpitch'te sektörde dalga yaratacak bazı teknoloji setlerine de göz attılar. Etkinlik teknolojisi girişimleri, fuarda etkinlik profesyonellerinden oluşan bir izleyici kitlesine ürünlerini sergileme fırsatı buldu. Beş finalist, ürünlerini canlı bir izleyici kitlesine sundu. Dünyanın ilk yapay zeka destekli etkinlik ağı çözümü olan Londra merkezli Grip, uzman bir jüri tarafından kazananı taçlandırdı.
Grip, basın ve pazarlama teşhirine ek olarak gelecek yılki fuarda Teknoloji Pavyonu'nda boş bir alan alacak.
