From the strategic to the logistical, there’s virtually no end to the number of tasks meeting planners are expected to tackle. Fortunately, for many steps in the process now, there’s an app for that — or an augmented, virtual, or mixed reality experience powered by artificial intelligence.

No matter the platform, technology is pivotal to meeting planners and conference organizers today, and providers are working feverishly to innovate with constantly improving products.

In this report, you’ll find:

An assessment of event technology’s rise to prominence
A discussion of the future of digital platforms
AI, VR, AR and other alternate realities broken down in the context of events
The rise of esports and interactive education
