Event Tech of the Week: @EventsQR

Friday, September 28th, 2012

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 Events-QR

What is the “problem” that your tool seeks to solve?
Events-QR it’s an events service  that uses QR codes to help event planners to spread the agenda of the events and to allow all the assistants to know the relevant information and the program of the event they will attend. Every event has its own QR code. Scanning this unique QR code the users’ smartphone will be able to quickly access the agenda and explanation of the event that is taking place in that exact moment. Thanks to the navigational buttons they will also be able to see the past and future scheduled events.

We can also provide a microsite for the event so people can not only see the agenda but the location, information about the speakers, etc.

What is the “problem” that your tool seeks to solve?
After 20 years of designing and managing mall tours, comedy tours, air shows, expos and trade shows, the founders of BusyEvent have rolled with just about every flavor of technology along the way. But no matter what the technology, the goal has always been the same: How to create a return for the money spent. So while people argue over a return on investment we’ve discovered over the years that by tracking what people actually do and report on it, we create something called a Return on Action. And we’ve trademarked the name and a process mixing technology solutions we create, some we general contract along with customized services to ID qualified opportunities from the mounds of data flowing out of live events. So as technology evolves and shiny objects come and go, we remain committed to delivering high-quality information about how people learn, communicate and connect around live events.

What is the “problem” that your tool seeks to solve?
We’ve found that most event organizers struggle to sell out their events. This problem occurs largely because traditional marketing strategies like paid advertisements and email blasts are no longer effective. People hear about events through their friends; people attend events with their friends. That’s why we build Planana – to help event organizers leverage social media to promote and sell out their events.
