Event Tech
A trio of tools of the trade
THEO REILLY PROFILES THREE EVENT TECH COMPANIES TO HAVE ON YOUR RADAR
G evme Headquartered in Singapore , Gevme is a high-tech event management platform . It builds websites for events , lets organisers create their own apps , sets up tech for broadcasting virtual events and creates registration systems . The platform has flashy digital features like facial recognition and live streaming , but one of the major benefits of Gevme ’ s software is the data collection . With every aspect of the event centralised into a platform , it collects data from registration to sign-out into one location . Organisers can then opt to view the data as a visual diagram to instantly interpret its significance , rather than trawling through lines of text .
Iventis Iventis is a visual event planning platform . Organisers use this tool to create a virtual , 3D model of the event . An accurate representation of the venue and its facilities , plus the surrounding
area , is constructed . The event team can create a plan for which areas of the venue will be used and when , from transport and registration to seating layouts . Iventis claims that using its service can cut planning time by 50 %, increase efficiency by 50 % and reduce errors by 60 %.
Laurence Smith , head of venue and event technology , Birmingham 2022 , said Iventis was “ so useful across the supply chain for everybody to have access across all of the different venues and fantastic from an efficiency and commercial value perspective ”.
Canapii Event management platform Canapii delivers all the standard elements of a comprehensive provider : registration , scanning to track attendance and a mobile app on which you can upload floorplans and event layouts . Some of the terms that crop up most in the platform ’ s 192 reviews on G2 are ‘ userfriendly ’ and ‘ intuitive ’. The app has a simple interface that organisers can quickly grow familiar with . Canapii also excels at gamification – the event app makes it easy to send out polls , Q & As , surveys and more to get attendees engaged . In addition to these features , Canapii offers something more unusual : live translation . With 51 languages available , from Bosnian to Swahili , Canapii can translate live speakers as well as static messaging . n
