Don’t Abandon Tech in Events
In a future of phygital events, technology is key! In order to engage both your in-person and your virtual attendees, technology is the only way to go. Technology is the prime reason why phygital events will work. People can connect from all over the world, attendees not at the venue can still be involved in Q&A sessions, and global networking can happen in real time. The inclusion of AR and VR in these phygital events is also happening, leading to richer and more interactive event experiences. Even if an attendee is sitting in their home, they now have the option of an avatar, and will feel like they are actually at the event.
