Rather than setting up cyber cafés—specific areas with computers, Wi-Fi, and electric outlets—offer your attendees free Wi-Fi and charging stations throughout your event.

Electric Slide
Electric Slide
Electric Slide launched in February and allows presenters to wirelessly transmit PowerPoint slides, documents, and videos to any screen without the need for a laptop or cables. Users swipe a finger across their smartphone or tablet screen and the presentation is displayed on any screen—across the room or across the Web—in real time. The app creates a unique URL from which the speaker begins and attendees watch the presentation. The app also allows multiple devices to work in sync through Bluetooth. "As a presenter in front of a room of people, you’ve got enough on your plate without worrying about why you can’t get your computer connected or whether those on the phone can see your slides. We’re also seeing users who just don’t want to lug a laptop around anymore," said Jim Phelan, co-founder of parent company Elucidate.

iAnnotate

Intended for use with iPads, iAnnotate provides a variety of tools to add notes to images, PDF files, Word documents, and PowerPoint slide shows. Annotation can be added as text or voice notes, and there are tools for highlighting, underlining, and strike-through. Files can be shared through Dropbox, Google Drive, and other cloud-based services.

Epson BrightLink Pro
Epson BrightLink Pro

Available since April, Epson’s BrightLink Pro turns a traditional whiteboard, wall, or virtually any flat surface into a digital presentation space. Speakers can present and annotate on content and then save it, print it, or email it through the network without the need for a computer or special software. The projector can be connected to most tablets, smartphones, documents cameras, and DVD players to share content. The device creates a 100-inch widescreen display area, so users can display presentations and a live meeting at the same time with the split-screen option. In addition, users can connect as many as four BrightLink Pro units that all reside on the same network, regardless of location, for remote collaboration.
