I saw 5:00 twice yesterday! An early train saw me heading to the 🌐CN Global Event Tech Summit 2024🌐. Apparently, Event planning was listed as the third most stressful job in 2023 by World Scholarship Vault! (That explains the greys!). It was nice to be in a room with people whose boat I share and got some great insights and made some new connections! Here are my key takeaways: 1️⃣ Procurement & Event Planning Harmony  In the session led by Andy FennHiggins from Chorus and Jacqui Kavanagh from EDGE Venues, we explored the often-complex relationship between procurement teams and event planners. While procurement emphasises cost-effectiveness, compliance, and efficiency, planners focus on personalization and creative flexibility. The discussion highlighted the importance of striking a balance through technology that enables robust data, compliance, and creativity.  ✅ Nail the brief ✅ Have a clear understanding of the outcome of the event ✅ Delegate experience should be the priority 2️⃣ Measuring ROI Across the Event Lifecycle  Cara Cory of Touch Associates and Rob Curtis from Event Footprints presented a fascinating case study, demonstrating how technology can track ROI from start to finish. We saw an outdated necessity get a facelift into an opportunity for innovation with Klik’s interactive smart badges. The name badge lanyard just got sexy! (I want them for the Real Entrepreneurs East Midlands events) Check them out - https://lnkd.in/eXmfrf9g 3️⃣ Achieving 90% Event App Adoption   Abi Cannons from Grip has made me want to get an app! (sorry Jenny Cross). She shared actionable strategies for driving app adoption among participants. Through segmentation and targeted engagement, Abi showed how event planners can boost engagement with event tech, going far beyond the industry average. 4️⃣AI Tools for Event Planning Matthew D. from Cvent showcased how AI tools are transforming the event planning process. This is a hot topic and I am keen to get to grips with the AI tools available. As a small company and an events team of 1, I feel AI could be my new apprentice! 5️⃣ Events in the Age of Disruption  Dex Hunter-Torricke delivered a powerful keynote on the disruptive trends reshaping our world. From immersive content to critical agendas, Dex challenged us to think about how our events can adapt to connect with audiences in a rapidly evolving world. Thanks for having me and look forward to future events! #EventTech #EventPlanning #AI #FutureOfEvents #EventInnovation #CNGETS24 Jessica Watt Tommaso Cartanese Lucy Eden William Groves Kristyna O'Connell Luke Elliott Annabel Letham

Managing event photos manually can be a challenge. Both if you have to send photos to delegates and speakers, or if #eventprofs have to search for themselves across hundreds of photos and pages manually. Northstar Travel Group instead made it simple for its teams and speakers at the latest The Meetings Show, with facial recognition and thousands of photos delivered to #eventprofs during the events. Do you struggle with event photography? Let's discuss why in 50+ countries #eventprofs use getpica.com to make life better for their guests and themselves.

My Boss and Mentor Sola Oluwadare, MNIPR, MNIM , DroneIT NG , and myself. Totally unrelated to what I’m about to share but I love this memory. Mr Sola and myself went looking for Innovations to feature at ICTEL EXPO 2023. There are more to what we found, I will share as time goes by. Meanwhile here’s a piece: How to Secure Sponsors for Your First Event Contrary to popular belief, landing sponsors for your inaugural event is entirely possible. Here’s a roadmap: Know Your Event: A solid foundation is crucial. Define your event's goals, target audience, and team. Research industry trends and analyze similar events, paying close attention to their sponsors. Build Strategic Partnerships: Collaborate with organizations that align with your event's mission. Leverage existing relationships and explore new partnerships to enhance your offering. Create an Irresistible Proposal: Clearly articulate the value your event brings to potential sponsors. Develop a comprehensive plan for delivering on your promises. By following these steps, you can significantly increase your chances of securing sponsorship for your first event. Would you like me to expand on any of these points or provide examples? You can drop questions or contributions in the Comment, like or share if you find this useful too. Cheers.
