Picture this: You’re at your first event planning meeting, feeling confident and ready to impress. The team starts discussing the “run-of-show,” the importance of a smooth “load-in/load-out,” and the need for a well-equipped “green room.” You nod along, trying to look like you understand, while frantically Googling under the table. Sound familiar?
As Wonka is coming to a screen near you this week, we’re looking forward to the magical revival of the beloved Willy Wonka classic.
But here’s the twist: If you were to step into the enchanting world of event technology, as an event planner, which character from Willy Wonka would you be?
It’s been a while since we arrived at an event and had to scan a trestle table for a name badge, which is no surprise when automated badge-printing kiosks do the sorting and printing. These mighty machines have made event registration, check-in, and badge collection easy and fast.
Successful events start with data. Data tells event planners what works, and what doesn’t. From monitoring attendance numbers and session popularity to analysing app feature usage and sponsor interactions, event data tracking unveils the hidden patterns and preferences that shape the event landscape.
“Using the CrowdComms Event App was like having our own event website.”
We get a lot of questions about the logistics of managing our event badge-printing kiosks. How do you work out the number of kiosks needed? Can you squeeze big kiosks into small event venues? And, is it possible to transport kiosks all the way from Dorset to Glasgow, or Sydney to Perth – without needing a whole fleet of trucks?
To make event sponsorship irresistible for organisations, event organisers need to find effective and innovative ways to showcase sponsors’ values, services and products.
If CrowdComms are in the running to support you in delivering your next event (which, we really hope we are), you might find it useful to see why event, marketing, HR and communications professionals love working with us, and what it is that keeps our clients coming back year after year.
What’s your favourite piece of event hardware?
While there’s lots to love about all the elements that make events work, we’ve got a special place in our hearts for the humble event badge.
“By using CrowdComms for our In-Person Event App we knew we could pivot to virtual, with the same provider, with short notice, which was reassuring.”
