A preview of Mackenzie’s riveting May 21 panel at the Asia-Pacific Venue Industry Congress is given. Steve is joined by industry experts Uwe Schafer and Andrew Stone for a debate titled “Gimmick or Game-Changer: Debating Innovations in Event Technology.” Together, they will share their varied expertise on two unique areas of innovation.

Utilizing data analytics to monitor and comprehend people’s movements within venues is one way to enhance the event experience. The other showcases cutting-edge Metaverse technology, investigating digital twinning and virtual simulations to improve venue interactions and engagement.

While dispelling myths about the usage of technology, Mackenzie highlights the significance of educating venue managers about these developments in event management.

“We’re showcasing some other emerging technologies that venues may find interesting,” Mackenzie continued. We’ll also refute a few of these claims that are merely loudmouthed. That’s a very big subject.
