6 Bright Ideas From

EVENTtech 2013

Over 650 marketers come together for

the world’s only conference focused

on using social media and technology

to optimize trade shows and events.

The following ideas have been curated

by our Tech Team Leader at Event

Marketer’s EVENTtech 2013 conference.

Dive Deeper!

1. Digital Performers

Interacting with various

forms of multimedia

content to create illusions,

high tech magicians

manipulate tablets to

create powerfully visual

magic—urging the

audience to participate in

a completely new

interactive experience.

Electronic literature

collection, social

interaction, contact

information, polling, lead

qualifying…all in one little

device! Activated by near-

field communication

technology, Poken is set to

transform the trade show

landscape in a myriad of

ways.

2. All In One

One step closer to making

Princess Leia's message to

Obi Wan Kenobi a reality,

Glass Slate Digital’s uQue

software uniquely

showcases products and

services and is available in

4 options, from a life-size

virtual presenter to a

marquee monitor to a mini

presenter, pictured here.

3. Virtual is Reality

The concept of projecting

images into thin air isn’t

only available in a fantasy

world à la the film Minority

Report. Displair uses a layer

of ultra-tiny water droplets

acting as a “screen” where

an image is created and

3D interactivity is achieved

through sensors.

Dive Deeper!

4. Into Thin Air

Intelligent drones that play

catch, balance, and make

decisions as one with the

help of algorithms, flying

quadcopters are the wave

of the future. From

interactive demos to eye-

catching signage, the

possibilities for this

technology seem endless.

Dive Deeper!

5. Flying In Sync

The layout of the event itself

was one of the best features

of this year’s conference.

The TED-style sessions and

interactive exhibits were

combined in a “campus-

style” centralized location

to maximize the attendee

experience—giving ample

opportunity to get hands on

with the technology.

Dive Deeper!

6. The Show Itself

help figuring out if

any of these ideas

are right for your

upcoming program,
