Planners, things are getting crazy. In only the last year, technological innovations have completely changed the event planning sector. Some claim that we are on the verge of an AI-run future so unimaginative that it will dwarf even mainstream science fiction.
Together, let’s inhale. Even while it’s simple to become enthralled with event tech developments and their potential, the buzz sometimes obscures the truth or, worse, serves as a diversion from the human element. You need to be aware of the realities of these tech trends if you want to take full use of current advancements in event tech without sacrificing human connection.
Tech trends improve, not define, the event experience. Examples include AI technologies, the Metaverse, and event diagramming tools. Let’s take a closer look at event technology and discover what it is and isn’t, before drawing conclusions about this Wizard of Oz-like field.
