EVENT SAFETY & SECURITY
Event is one of the most important protocols of them all. Without a solid system of safety precautions and security, you could be putting your attendees at risk. We have noticed a spike in application usage for most events, especially those applications that are designed to also cater to your safety and security measurements. Whilst many event managers were relying on beacon technology to stay connected to the security teams and attendees, application developers like QuickMobile were quick to implement apps that would better serve event managers during the event hosting, especially in regards to security. QuickMobile is an all-time event management application developer, who specializes in the app created specifically to improve the event and conferencing methods. The developers and strategists aims are focused to provide the same security measures as major financial institutions, like a bank facility. Quickmobile uses secure HTTP/ SSL connections, AES-256 bit encryption, and security measurements to secure your sensitive data. On the other hand, event management experienced professional Bob Vaez who happens to be the CEO & President of Eventmobi has also introduced the smart app for event managers to better-manage their events and help secure all the big-sensitive data.
QUALITY ENGAGEMENT
Engaging with your attendees could possibly be one of the most effective ways to interact with your attendees and to have their total attention. Quality engagement simply means, attracting attention in a fun and positive way, all whilst conveying your message broadly across. Many event managers include music, laser oriented show stages, dancing, and fun educational games. According to the statistics, it’s a possibility that quality engagement could be a norm that many event managers could soon adopt as a standardization in the upcoming year.

The VR technology has introduced an integrated system for event managers whom can practice to map out the event, stage the setting and build a reality theme before the real thing deal is summoned.
The current conditions set high standards for the upcoming year when it comes to event management. The implication of event tech that includes event apps and mobile apps for events has increased and the availability has become widely spread in such an industry.
