The last 12 months has shaken up the world and with it the event industry. It’s no snow globe style reset either, when it’s hard to tell exactly what’s changed when the flakes settle again, the differences are marked.

In this feature we’re looking at how the wants from event apps have evolved through lockdown, the post-pandemic answers they can provide for organisers and for audiences, how hybrid will call the shots and what it expects in return. Engagement is still the key of course but the parameters are wide open, so there’s plenty of detail about the latest tools to foster interaction across the dimensions. How to make your content shine – in person and on screen and extend the reach beyond the traditional start/stop marks.

From virtual floorplans to tracked sponsorship opportunities, filterable attendee lists to instant messaging, apps have had hybrid ears to the floor throughout the Covid crisis. Always evolving, they will play a crucial part in redefining the event model. Apps for events highlights the hooks in that journey.

Creating Virtual Engagement:
Build community before, during and after the event

Your virtual event is alive and buzzing with animated conversations, electric presentations and smart social media sharing. How do you keep the momentum going? The truth is, the excitement must start well before the virtual event opens. And it has to continue long after the event closes. To generate this kind of success, you must involve attendees at every stage of the process. It’s all about engagement. The first key to audience engagement is great content.

But first you need a container for that content. And today the best vehicle—not only to hold event content but to serve as a virtual community built around the conference—is a virtual event platform. Think of the event platform as a community that attendees can join, take with them on their mobile devices and continue to participate in as they network and create lasting relationships. In-app engagement allows you and your team to harness data for leads, influencers and follow-up.
