As the world struggles with COVID-19, every public event is getting canceled or postponed. Many live events are slowly being replaced or augmented by virtual ones, which makes us think if these tough times will set a precedent for the industry to think of new ways to network, communicate, and engage at events in the future. 

Certain technologies like 5G, Augmented Reality, and Holographic Speaker claims to be on the path to support the needs of “anytime anywhere” event experience; but let’s hear what event planning experts have to say. 

Our guest today, Brandt Krueger is the go-to-expert to help planners make educated decisions when it comes to event technology. 

He is the owner of Event Technology Consulting and has over 20 years of experience and hundreds of productions under his belt. He also teaches Technical Meeting & Event Production at Event Leadership Institute. 

Our goal today is to get their authentic perspective on the role wireless connectivity plays in planning events and unwrap some realistic possibilities and challenges in adopting technologies such as 5G and Augmented Reality to improve the conference and event experience. Hopefully, together we will separate some facts from fiction.
