The Future Today Institute published the technology trends for 2017 that will affect all areas of our lives such as business, education, politics, government, education and society. This year’s report includes 159 trends.
Here’s a sneak peek at some of the technology trends for 2017 which we believe will influence the event industry.
Personal data is becoming more and more accessible today as businesses begin digitizing everything. It’s easy to place orders, sign up for events, join online groups and register for just about anything via the internet. As more information gets stored online, and digitally in general, it becomes increasingly important to figure out ways to protect that information and to prevent people from gaining unauthorized access to it. That’s precisely why the Personal Data Protection Act was founded. This set of rules and regulations affects nearly every business in operation today, including event organizers. As an event organizer, you have to be aware of the latest information management tools and the standards in place designed to keep your data protected and out of the hands of those that shouldn’t have it.
So, you are planning an event and there are a lot of thoughts going through your head. This is completely normal. The Why, the How, the Where and the When, it all builds up. This can easily be a stressful time. Maybe it’s an office party that your boss has decided you are responsible for – that’s definitely a lot of pressure. Or maybe it’s your wedding – debatably the most important event of your life. Whatever the occasion, this article is here to help you, guide you and hopefully destress you.
Given that the number of people using social networks is due to rise to nearly 3 billion in 2020, influencer marketing is becoming a more and more lucrative channel, and one that we can leverage to launch events successfully. Here’s how.
There may be no such thing as a free lunch, but catering plays a crucial role in any event – and complimentary food and refreshments will no doubt be welcomed by attendees. Event catering not only encourages attendees to make an appearance, but it also provides the perfect opportunity to show off the generosity and professionalism of your brand – which can have a significant impact when it comes to connecting with potential clients on the day.

According to the one important event marketing rule “the more the better,” we suggest you take into consideration that event social media buzz is a necessary part of event marketing strategy. Social media platforms create event awareness among a wide audience, engage and entertain attendees during an event.
The main purpose for each event is to share ideas and build a networking platform for attendees. However, if you’re an event planner, your biggest lead source will definitely come through a trade show, an exhibition or even a conference. That’s a good way to start capturing new leads.
