The events industry is on the cusp of a revolution, and it’s being driven by the convergence of human creativity and Artificial Intelligence. At the Singapore MICE Forum 2024, Snapsight, in collaboration with Pigeonhole Live and SongDivision, unveiled a groundbreaking innovation that redefined the boundaries of audience engagement.
The Problem with Passive Viewing
Traditional events often follow a familiar script: speakers present, attendees listen, and the interaction is limited to Q&A sessions or networking breaks. However, this format can lead to passive viewing, where attendees may not be fully invested in the experience. Research has shown that passive viewing can result in lower retention rates, reduced understanding, and decreased overall impact. On the other hand, an EventMB’s survey found that 85% of event professionals believe co-creative activities, like interactive content, live polls, gamification, and Q&A sessions, will be crucial for keeping attendees engaged in events.
The Power of AI-Driven Interactivity
To break this mold, Snapsight introduced an AI-driven experience that empowered the audience to become an integral part of the event. By merging the power of AI with human creativity, Snapsight created an immersive experience that allowed the audience to co-create the theme song for the event. This was not a one-way interaction; instead, it was a dynamic to-and-fro between the technology and the people. The AI system responded to the audience’s input, shaping the music and verses in real-time.
Interaction Details: A Unique Musical Masterpiece
So, how did it work? The interaction was designed to capture the audience’s preferences in real-time, using interactive polls, hosted on Pigeonhole Live to gather their choices. These preferences became the blueprint for a unique musical masterpiece. Snapsight’s AI transformed these preferences into a composition, taking into account the audience’s preferred genre, tempo, and mood. Live musicians from SongDivision then brought this composition to life, performing the song in front of the audience.
The Benefits of Co-Creation
The Snapsight experience demonstrated the benefits of co-creation, where the audience becomes an active participant in the creative process. This approach has been shown to increase engagement, improve retention rates, and enhance the overall experience. By empowering the audience to participate, event organizers can create a sense of ownership and investment in the experience. In fact, studies have found that co-creation can increase audience engagement by up to 90% and improve overall satisfaction by up to 80%.
The Future of Events
The Snapsight experience at Singapore MICE Forum 2024 was more than just a novelty; it was a testament to the boundless possibilities of innovation in the events industry. By harnessing the power of AI, event organizers can create immersive, interactive, and engaging experiences that leave a lasting impact on attendees. As the events industry continues to evolve, it’s clear that AI-driven interactivity will play a major role in shaping the future of events.
