Are we becoming too distracted by event tech? In this episode of Talking Events, Wayne Morris from Guidebook and Jonathan Douglas from iBid discuss whether or not organisers have becoming distracted by new tech to the point where they are loosing focus on their key objectives.
With so many events now embracing technology in order to improve the quality of the customer experience, are we now getting to the point where there’s too much of it? Can audiences, customers, exhibitors and organisers really cope with the amount of new tech that is bombarding them, and is their attention being taken away from what they should actually be doing?
This episode was recorded at Guidebook’s Headquarters in London.

In this episode of Talking Events, Julius Solaris (Event Manager Blog) and Kevin Jackson (George P Johnson and the International Special Events Society) discuss the term ‘engagement’.
Is it just another buzz word picked up by the industry, or is it something that can be genuinely identified and improved upon.
Using their new book ‘Engaging Events’ as a key discussion point, the guests look at what organisers are doing right, what they are doing wrong, and how engagement can and should be looked upon by organisers.
