What’s an event without the perfect venue?
Location, decor and ambience speak volumes about your event and play an important part in the experience. However, besides looking pretty for the guests and their cameras, here are 4 factors to consider when selecting your ideal space:
Everyone knows how powerful social media can be, but how many have actually realized the full potential of social media to promote an event without paying for expensive ads?

American multinational technology company, Cisco System, has bought IoT platform company, Jasper Technologies, in a deal worth $1.4B. Founded in 2004, Jasper Technologies is bringing a wealth of software experience and more than 3500 enterprise customers into Cisco’s fold. Driverless cars are one of the most exciting up and coming technology for consumers, but this is only one example of the devices to be connected to the internet in the near future according to Cisco. The company expects 50 billion devices and objects to be connected to the internet by the year 2020. They also estimate the IoE market (Internet on Everything, term coined by themself) to have a value of $14.4 Trillions (Google tells me that means one million one millions) for the private sector in 2022.

The onsite experience can set the right tone for the entire event, or be a party pooper.
Artificial Intelligence (AI), simply put, is a branch of computer science that develops computers that can perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence. When people think of AI, robots that can think like humans (and might want to destroy humanity) often come to mind due to the prevalence of sci-fi movies such as The Terminator, I, Robot and Avengers: Age of Ultron. However, most AI researchers are focused less on producing humanoid robots and more on developing intelligent systems that make people’s lives easier (or not). Read on to find out how emergent AI is having a huge impact on our society and whether we are ready for it.
