On the evening of November 7, 2012, imbookin and Liz King Events will host the fourth PlannerTech event technology showcase. Featuring ten showcase presenters and twenty event technology companies in total, this event looks to educate event professionals on the tools and products that can be used to enhance their events. This year, the organizers of PlannerTech have implemented a Selection Committee of leaders in the industry who have selected the ten showcase presenters.
Jim Alkon, Lori Cioffi, Liz King, France LaFlamme, Barbara Palmer, Debra Roth and James Spellos reviewed all of the applications and selected the ten organizations that were the most innovative and had appeal to the audience of 150+ event planners. Given only 4 minutes each, the selected companies will get the chance to introduce their product to attendees and showcase why they are so unique.
In addition to the showcase presenters, attendees will also have the chance to meet and mingle with IML Worldwide, Atendy, Bloodhound, BuzzBand, Eventbrite, Hubb, Maestro Market, NYC Photo Party, and SponsorHub.
A special thanks to PlannerTech sponsors Alive Entertainment, Attendly, Capsule, Hotel Pennsylvania, Nice Uplights, NYC Photo Party, and P&V Enterprises.

ETECH
ETech is a content integration solution which pushes any combination of popular outside content options from our menu of integrations (or planner-provided content!) to digital signage systems, AV, mobile applications and any other delivery point onsite.This solution not only streamlines content distribution throughout the entire event, but eliminates the resource drain of discovery and coordination of the newest content sources with event technology systems. The result of our solution is a customized, interactive experience for attendees that increases an event’s ROI by not only raising the attendee’s perceived value but also offering planners an avenue to outsource their event technology planning including the stress of producing and integrating digital content with delivery systems. Additional benefits include many, many more built-in sponsorship/monetization opportunities, a higher level of outside reach with increased social media activity, and more interactivity.Our constantly-evolving menu of popular content providers and concepts ranges from social media dashboards and streams, gamification, sponsorship and advertising, real-time agenda data from registration companies, wayfinding, live stream and pre-recorded video, photo booths, engagement stations for downloading content to mobile, interactive audio DJing and more.
Our concept is brand-new to the market, as most companies are focused on either content or delivery instead of the technology and planning needed to execute both. Although Etech has been providing digital content delivery and event technology since its inception in 1996, we began developing our content menu and refining our delivery points’ ability to integrate with outside content sources over the past year. A few of this year’s clients have included Blackberry, Dreamforce, Capella University, KIPP and BlogHer.
