Conferences and Exhibitions Trends in 2014:
- Seating guests based on the event`s planner networking requirements and not only on the guest social connection
- Using technology to speed up site registration, including tablet based tools
- Collaborative Event Planning - tools and structured solutions that help a group of friends to plan events using social networks
- Sharing the event`s slides on attendees smartphones or tablets live
- Collecting pictures and videos created by attendees
- Planning an event with the use of mobile apps instead of complex event management dashboards
- Offering live accommodation options upon event registration
- Building one page websites
- Real Time Analytics regarding preferences, heat maps and check-in
