The event industry is now seeing a large push for in-person events. Here are a few top tips for making it a smooth transition back to live gatherings:

  • Use an event website to engage and communicate with attendees.
  • Get attendees to buy into the event sooner with early-bird pricing.
  • Create an exciting agenda page with speakers and sessions for attendees to look forward to at the event. 
  • Build an informative exhibitor/sponsor page and use event management software to sell marketing opportunities and have exhibitors pick their booth from a digital floor plan. Use event technology to upgrade your on-site safety.
  • Provide contactless, on-site event check-in by placing barcodes on your event ticket that pair with an on-demand badge printer. 
  • Use attendee-tracking to monitor what sessions they enter and to keep track of capacity.  
  • Use a lead-retrieval app to capture attendee data right to your phone by scanning an attendee's badge.
  • Increase attendee engagement to build excitement at the event.
  • Utilize gamification techniques to increase engagement and entertain attendees. 
  • Have exhibitors provide touchable tech so attendees can take surveys, view videos and watch virtual tours. 
  • Use a mobile app that allows attendees to access the exhibitor floor plan digitally. 
  • Have attendees walk around the venue to find prizes or information at exhibitor booths.
