I think corporate marketers today are considering corporate events as one of the best tools to reach out to clients and other stakeholders. Corporate events themselves are driven towards unique experiences for engagement. #EventellectsTalk

Event technology can really speed up the process of corporate event planning, I think. Mainly through automation. Apart from that, tech like AI, alternate reality, social media wall, etc. can help drive engagement among otherwise ordinary events. #EventellectsTalk

With plethora of new event tech, event planners tend to gain attraction with fashionable tech like facial recognition and valuable tech like networking apps and platform for attendees to engage better. So event technology is a revolution for corporate events! #EventellectsTalk

A2 Event tech provide you with finer and finer tools for you to have the option of using for your goals. Ever used a flathead screwdriver on a philips-head screw? It's possible but it's not going to work as good. more tools = more options for challenges. #EventellectsTalk

By using some cool new Event technology event planner’s can also help people to interact before and after event with fellow members who are willing to attend the event. They can get a boost up for their event as well before the start #EventellectsTalk

Q5. How do unique venues help in maximizing the ROI of corporate events?#EventellectsTalk #CorporateEvents
— Hubilo (@Hubiloconnect) November 29, 2018
Venues does give event attendees goals to travel around, whether it's a different city, country or just a walk by the neighborhood. Venue leaves an impact on the attendee. Hence if event planners select a unique venue, attendees will automatically increase #EventellectsTalk
— Juhi Purswani (@19_juhi) November 29, 2018
Unique event venues spike the interest of attendees. Before the actual event begins, you already have the attendees engaged with their interest in the venue and venue design. It definitely contributes to event success with a positive beginning. #EventellectsTalk

A5. Unique venues in different cities or countries are definitely going to attract more and more attendees to come to the event and have a new experience which in the end will create a good impact of event #EventellectsTalk https://t.co/gJSB1FzPjh
