The end of the humble projector?

With large format, full HD LED screens becoming cheaper and cheaper, it has come time to open the blinds up and let a bit more light into that tired old conference room. We are seeing more hotels featuring them into their smaller meeting and boardrooms, however, with LG’s new LA8600 flagship LED set, a full HD, 100” screen is now ready for new hotels and conference rooms. Whilst the 44kg package makes it a little inconvenient for temporary setups, it is only a matter of time until we see these popping up into the larger rooms, trying to do away with the cheap projector from 10 years ago. If you have a meeting room in your office that you are about to set up, why not think outside the box, and future proof your business with the latest large format TV screens.

Never get lost again!

We all know that mobile devices are present everywhere, with most people walking around with more than one at a time, allowing Apps based around your event to take off. Whilst this isn’t new news, what’s next is set to have a huge impact in the retail sector, as well as applications into large events, conferences and especially exhibitions. Indoor GPS uses specifically set up Wi-Fi hotspots to generate a device location, and with Google throwing themself behind the drive for it, no doubt we will see it taking off soon. 8 Countries, from the USA to Sweden already have over 10,000 floorplans loaded and being used. Following the UNSW indoor mapping conference, there is no reason that specially made, event specific maps can’t be loaded into an events mobile app, meaning that your delegates will never get lost looking for that room, or more importantly that sponsors stand again. To hear more about how you can start using a mobile app to take your event to the next level, contact Kieran.kennedy@veritas.com.au  

A picture paints a thousand words

We have all heard the saying “a picture paints a thousand words”. With all the PowerPoints, agendas, travel confirmations and event briefs, there is often a lot of words at corporate events and conferences, and not as many pictures. It seems our attention span is actually about 8 seconds. But we need to communicate with our delegates as a part of event planning and event marketing! Visualizations such as infographics are thirty times more likely to be read than text. On site delegate materials such as pocket guides, and ‘know before you go’ style communications are well suited to using infographics instead of traditional paragraphs of text. As a high end PCO, Veritas Events is always ahead of the trends and our event managers’ use of infographics in delegate communication has been really well received.
