About the Certificate
Event technology has taken the events industry by storm. Some of the most profound changes in event programs over the past 15 years have been driven by the constant digital transformation of the planning process.
Online registration, ticketing, mobile apps, engagement apps, and online venue sourcing are only some of the tools that revolutionized the way we plan, execute and evaluate events.
With such an incredible amount of disruption, planners have tried to make sense of the new opportunities brought along – and they have tried to contain the risks associated with implementing tech programs.
The fact is that event technology is not just a trend anymore. It is a vital pillar of planning and executing events.
