Customized meeting applications
such as OmniLink by Encore, the
tool Omni Hotels & Resorts uses,
provides meeting content, speaker
information, event surveys, and a
guide and itinerary for the sessions.
This tool can even be used to follow
up after the meeting with a survey to
collect feedback on how the meeting
ran and what attendees thought.
We are also seeing more
meeting planners encouraging
attendees to live tweet during the
event with a designated hashtag to
enhance the meeting experience.
Their overall goal in doing this is to
make these workshops or events
more interactive and fun.
