Technology is an incredible resource that’s woven into every aspect of daily life. In New York City, technology advancements and new features or products are at your fingertips with near-instant speed. Using this technology to accomplish tasks is one thing; using technology to elevate a NYC corporate event is another. Here are some tips we’ve put together to give you an idea of how to elevate your next corporate event with various aspects of technology.
Virtual Reality (VR)
Virtual reality has come a long way in a short time. The quality and immersive experience it lends to events, education seminars, and leisure activities like video games is unparalleled. VR can be used in the event space to provide virtual venue tours prior to the event itself, product demonstrations, and even designated network spaces. One of the most creative ways to use VR in a NYC corporate event is by showcasing exhibitions or entertainment. This is also a fantastic way to include international event guests in an event.
Event Applications
Most people have smartphones capable of downloading apps for anything from delivery to checking in for a flight. Event apps have come onto the event planning scene as a unique, easily integrated way to track attendance, poll guests for real-time feedback, encourage networking, and share pertinent event information.
An event app gives guests a centralized platform for communication, including real-time updates or alerts for changes in event itineraries or announcements. As someone who’s been tasked with planning a corporate event, communicating effectively and quickly is paramount to successful events and an overall positive event experience for guests.
Live Streams
All or part of an event can be live-streamed easily with a decent internet connection which allows an event to reach a much wider audience than just those attending in-person. For a larger NYC corporate event, live streaming an event can increase accessibility to employees who may be working remotely or are otherwise unable to attend physically, as well as provide opportunities for content repurposing.
Event Data Analytics
Data analytics before, after, and during events are crucial to measuring event success. This information is used to develop better events in the future, change less successful aspects of events, and help you decide if trying out a new entertainment company, caterer, etc., was worth it. Event data can be gathered through applications, in-person polling, or even email surveys.
