Outdoor events are a key part of the UK economy, generating over £30 billion in GDP*. To keep your audiences engaged and coming back for more, you need to constantly innovate and improve your event experience. Using the latest technology as part of your event experience is one of the key ways you can ensure you are ahead of the curve. Behind the scenes, reliable WiFi quietly powers these innovations, making everything happen seamlessly. Let’s take a look into how various tech trends transforming outdoor events are reshaping the landscape, with reliable WiFi as the unsung hero.
RFID Technology
Imagine hosting a music festival where event check-ins become a seamless, efficient process for attendees. With RFID wristbands, guests can swiftly check-in with a simple tap, enjoy cashless transactions for purchases and unlock personalised event perks. Supported by a reliable WiFi network, this leading technology makes sure operations are smooth and improves guest satisfaction. This also streamlines the overall event management experience.
Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)
Attendees can explore virtual product demos and take interactive tours of event spaces. With AR and VR technologies, outdoor events can offer interactive and immersive experiences that leave a lasting impression. Reliable WiFi brings these experiences to life, enabling real-time interactions and engagement.
Live Streaming and Social Media Integration
Live performances can be streamed in real-time to audiences across the globe and behind-the-scenes moments can be shared instantly on social media. Reliable WiFi ensures seamless connectivity for these digital interactions, connecting your global audience effortlessly.
Mobile Event Apps
One key tech trend transforming outdoor events is mobile event apps. They have become a must-have for attendees, they offer personalised schedules and interactive maps for easy navigation. Plus, they offer networking opportunities and real-time updates on event activities. With reliable WiFi as the backbone, these apps deliver instant information, facilitate smooth interactions and help keep attendees engaged throughout the event.
Interactive Digital Signage
Interactive digital displays transform static signs into engaging communication tools. At outdoor events, these digital displays offer interactive experiences and targeted messaging to engage your audience. Reliable WiFi enables the interactive displays to seamlessly operate, allowing you to deliver content that improves attendee interaction.
Drones
Special event moments can be captured from the sky with drones. Drones are ideal for capturing the atmosphere of a music festival, monitoring the crowd at a marathon, or enhancing safety at a major event. This can give you valuable insights and unique aerial views. Reliable WiFi keeps everything connected, so the drones can operate perfectly, ensuring clear communication and effortless integration.
Smart Lighting and Sound Systems
Smart lighting and sound systems can transform an event. Whether it’s a themed party or an outdoor concert, they allow you to set the scene. They can accentuate key event features and reinforce brand identity through creative lighting and audio effects. With reliable WiFi connectivity ensuring seamless coordination, these smart systems can transform outdoor spaces into memorable event experiences that live long in the memory.
AI-Powered Chatbots
AI technology can take your event experience to the next level. AI-powered chatbots can provide event details and suggest sessions tailored to your interests. They can also keep you updated on any schedule changes in real-time. Supported by a strong and stable WiFi connection, AI allows smooth communication and personalised experiences.
Cashless Payments
With cashless payment options, things are getting a whole lot easier for everyone involved. No more waiting in long lines or fumbling for cash.
Whether you’re using your phone’s mobile wallet, tapping into RFID tech, or simply using a payment app, making transactions for purchases, registrations, or donations has never been easier.
Thanks to a solid WiFi setup, these cashless transactions are not only quick but also super secure. This means less hassle, greater efficiency and happier attendees.
Energy-Efficient Lighting
By switching to LED lighting for stages, pathways and for those little decorative touches, you can not only save on energy bills but you can also do your part for the environment.
With reliable WiFi connections, managing these energy-efficient lighting setups is a breeze. From controlling the brightness to scheduling lighting sequences, everything is optimised for top-notch performance and long-term sustainability.
Waste-Reduction Apps
Waste reduction apps help to track the waste generation of your event. They can help start recycling initiatives and can educate attendees on sustainable living. This can reduce your outdoors events’ environmental footprint and help create a more sustainable future. And with reliable WiFi connections, handling data and making quick decisions on waste management is easy.
Technology has the power to take outdoor events to another level and make them live long in the memory. Whether it’s RFID technology or AR/VR experiences, live streaming or social media integration, these tech trends are transforming outdoor events and are changing how we connect and engage. Whatever technology you use to enhance and improve your event experience, reliable WiFi is a must.
