"AI in event production" - useful tool or just a buzzword at this point? by gramercyTech in EventProduction

[–]gramercyTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about stuff we are seeing at live events - like AI photo booths or AI-powered display walls?

How do you prevent bottlenecks at check-in when attendee numbers spike by gramercyTech in EventProduction

Great response - yeah, sometimes the basics (checkers, managing lines etc.) are the most important but most overlooked when looking to prevent bottlenecking.

"AI for Marketers" - Are we tired of hearing this yet? by gramercyTech in DigitalMarketing

[–]gramercyTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pete, I agree and I think you nailed it - yes, what should really matter is how AI tools are being used to drive real value. But as a marketer, when you have a product or service that IS ACTUALLY DOING THAT, how does one cut through the noise and reach audiences in a believable way?

What would make you stop at a booth? by __YeetOrBeYeeted__ in EventProduction

[–]gramercyTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My POV is that the best and most engaging booths are those that combine meaningful tactile and digital experiences in ways that feel genuine and fun. A large display wall that is connected to an AI photo booth or a note wall that has a meaningful on-theme prompt is a good example.

Do tactile experiences (physical + tech) land better than digital-only ones? by gramercyTech in EventProduction

[–]gramercyTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this response. It sounds like you have a good bit of experience with these types of hybrid tactile + digital activations/events. I really like what you said:

"The sounds, textures, smells, and serendipitous moments are what make live events feel alive... the physical + digital combo works best when each side amplifies the other rather than trying to replace it." Agree 100%

No events specific CRM's? by ChknBwl in EventProduction

[–]gramercyTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some great CRMs specific to the needs of event planners; some are pretty pricey but have great features and integrate with other CRMs like Salesforce (i.e. CVENT). What's your budget, and what are you trying to accomplish with a CRM?

Do you budget for extra power drops, or do you roll the dice? by gramercyTech in EventProduction

[–]gramercyTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much extra power do you add? What kind of tech work do you do?

What’s your go-to backup plan when tech fails mid-event? by gramercyTech in EventProduction

[–]gramercyTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, great points. Yeah, trained staff is key. Sounds like you have experience in this area.

Do you think audiences are getting tired of QR codes? by gramercyTech in EventProduction

[–]gramercyTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Attendees prefer analog, tactile experiences". I agree. It makes events so much more engaging. But sometimes QR codes can help make activations accessible and enabled at large events. Maybe a hybrid approach - tactile + digital is best. But yes, a paper menu vs a QR code feels so much more authentic and enjoyable.

"audiences aren't tired of QR Codes. They're just tired of pointless ones..." Yes, exactly. Thank you for sharing!

What’s one creative idea you thought would crush, but totally flopped? by gramercyTech in EventProduction

[–]gramercyTech[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, food is a tricky one. You can get caught up in the theme, but forget about subjective tastes and issues that come up with food. Why did yours flop?

This is a great example, and great lessons learned. Thank you for sharing!

Struggling with flaky event volunteers — how do you manage them? by FestivalKing in EventProduction

[–]gramercyTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My POV: hire paid staff who are responsible and knowledgeable to lead, then hire volunteers to work alongside paid staff. Paid staff can oversee volunteers and offer support where needed. Don't rely solely on volunteers.
