Engage Audiences with Interactivity

With ever increasing power in mobile phones and PDAs, coupled the huge growth in social networking providing interactivity during an event is an exciting opportunity. Video streams, event podcasts and interactive guides can be streamed direct to mobile devices. Attendees can communicate with each other via event maps giving location information or can be alerted when their favourite band is about to take to the stage, around this attractive new sponsorship and branding opportunities can be created with the ability to directly interact with attendees.

Event Guide

An event guide or portal has a totally customisable look and feel depending on the customer's requirements. It can be tailored to a specific device or be more generic. As attendees browse the event map, read the latest event news and look at schedules, they can also sign up to marketing updates and bookmark the bands or shows they want to see. Content can include videos, images and text, with updates made available via a number of different routes depending on requirements. The guide can be branded or carry adverts and sponsorship in a number of different ways.

Bluetooth Advertising

Taking advantage of mobile phones with Bluetooth capability, advertising, discount vouchers and general event information can be sent directly to attendees. Content can be broadcast across the event or based on an 'opt-in' model. Information can be targeted to zones so that as attendees move between areas they get different information.

Short Message Service (SMS)

Coupling the SMS service of mobile phones with an event guide, attendees can opt-in to information updates, receiving new messages at intervals during the event. The service can also be used to gather input from attendees or broadcast attendee messages on screens.
