THE DESIGN OF THE VENUES, A NEW TENDENCY IN EVENTS
The venue chosen for a professional event may be key in the experience of the attendees, and traditional factors such as the location, size or characteristics of the space should be carefully considered. However, the design of the venues with the aim of adapting them to the needs of the organiser and visitors has also become a new tendency to consider.
In an interview published in the British portal Conference News, Alastair Stewart, executive director of Etc Venues, a specialist company in the sector, offers interesting reflections and highlights two elements in the adaptation and design of a modern venue: the enlargement of the spaces and the gradual elimination of closed rooms. The aim is twofold: to boost shared environments to offer alternative activities to conferences and promoting networking among the attendees.
In relation to the technology used in the events, Stewart underlines the use of the Glisser application, which enables Power Point presentations to be followed on a mobile device, which makes it easier for the attendees to save them with screenshots without having to take notes by hand.
Additionally, the growing importance of the internet connection has meant that chargers are essential for venues. Their installation, however, is still very expensive. To solve it, Stewart considers that one of the best resources today are the USB ports, where several devices can be connected at the same time.
