- Technology Use: Use event management software to automate tasks, reducing the need for additional staff and saving time and resources.
2. Event Engagement
- Challenge: Keeping attendees engaged and interested throughout the event, especially during long sessions or uninteractive periods, can be difficult.
- Solution:
- Interactive Features: Incorporate live polls, Q&A sessions, gamification, or social media engagement to keep attendees involved.
