Event Tech of the Week: @IrishCosgrove

I love, love, love all things events and technology. If you can’t tell by my tweets, Facebook posts and all my other social media interactions, I love to talk about events and the tools that help us do what we do better. In June 2011, I partnered with an organization called imbookin to bring you PlannerTech – an event technology showcase. This weekly blog series is going to help continue to expose you to new tools you need to be aware of as an event planner. Also, in case you missed it, PlannerTech could be coming soon to your area!

Today, we’re talking about VoiceHive

Fast, customized, personalized, sponsored that can be measured for ROI; polling, Q&A, interaction between audience and host.

All events where there is an “audience” and a host (speaker, panel, sports event, music, trade show etc)

What does your tool help event planners do better?
Measure the ROI for the audience, sponsors and host of the event
