While waiting for the “unicorn” to arrive, planners continue to evolve to take advantage of tech tools available now.

From saving costs to obtaining better-quality equipment, to ensuring a smooth, successful event experience, negotiating audiovisual (AV) equipment and services for an association’s meeting or event is paramount.

By blending post-event insights, flexible virtual options and the connection of in-person experiences, hybrid remains an ideal choice for a well-rounded event.

Creating remarkable event experiences with AV and meetings technology is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor.

Planners still learning how to implement AI themselves are attempting to address the demand from association members about how it can be used in their jobs.

Creating personalized event experiences for your attendees can make or break your next event.

Professionals in a wide range of industries — meetings and events included — are only just beginning to tap into the potential of artificial intelligence (AI).

Given the popularity of apps, scores have been developed with planners in mind.

Finding the ideal visuals to engage attendees is part art, part science and requires due diligence on the part of today’s meeting planners.

Today’s planners have a wealth of technological tools from which to choose — all with the goal of making the meeting and event planning process streamlined and efficient.
