As the event industry continues to evolve, several technological advancements are reshaping how events are planned and experienced. These innovations aim to enhance engagement, streamline operations, and promote sustainability.

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning

AI and machine learning are revolutionizing event planning by automating tasks such as scheduling, data analysis, and personalized recommendations. AI-powered chatbots provide instant responses to attendee inquiries, improving overall efficiency and engagement.

2. Virtual and Hybrid Event Platforms

The rise of virtual and hybrid events has expanded audience reach beyond geographical limitations. Advanced platforms facilitate interactive experiences, enabling real-time networking, live polls, and Q&A sessions, thereby enhancing attendee participation.

3. Immersive Technologies: AR and VR

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are creating immersive event experiences. These technologies allow attendees to engage in virtual exhibitions, interactive product demos, and simulated environments, offering unique and engaging experiences.

4. Data Analytics for Personalization

Leveraging data analytics enables organizers to tailor events to individual preferences. By analyzing attendee behavior and feedback, events can be customized to enhance satisfaction and engagement, leading to more successful outcomes.

5. Sustainable Event Solutions

There is a growing emphasis on sustainability in event planning. Utilizing technology to reduce paper usage, optimize energy consumption, and manage waste contributes to eco-friendly events, aligning with global sustainability goals.

6. Enhanced Networking Opportunities

Technological advancements are facilitating better networking opportunities through AI-driven matchmaking and interactive platforms. Attendees can connect based on shared interests and goals, maximizing the value of their event participation.

7. Advanced Security Measures

Implementing robust cybersecurity protocols and utilizing technologies like facial recognition ensure the safety and integrity of events. These measures protect against data breaches and unauthorized access, maintaining trust among participants.

In summary, the integration of these emerging technologies is transforming the event industry, leading to more engaging, efficient, and sustainable events. Organizers who embrace these trends are better positioned to meet the evolving expectations of attendees and stakeholders alike.

Jurassic World: The Experience is set to launch at Battersea Power Station on 23 May.

The first-ever purpose-built entertainment and cultural visitor space by NEON Entertainment will stand 15 metres tall and span more than 3,200sqm of floor space.

This cultural venue is set to unveil two cutting-edge shows per year, showcasing selected experiences from NEON’s repertoire of works, such as Ramses and the Gold of the Pharaohs.

Visitors will have the opportunity to walk among prehistoric giants and get up close and personal with countless different species across two floors.

The project is expected to create 60 local jobs through the Battersea Academy for Skills and Employment and become a hub for high-profile, rotating cultural content.

Additionally, NEON will provide 5,000 complimentary tickets to local schools, allowing students to experience the exhibitions firsthand. A further 1,000 free tickets will be offered to local charities, community organisations, and youth groups.

NEON is already in discussions with global IP holders, museums, and experiential design partners to programme a year-round calendar of innovative, scalable exhibitions.

Ron Tan, CEO and executive chairman of NEON, says: “The opening of Jurassic World: The Experience will mark the first of many world-class IP experiences that NEON will be showcasing in London through our partnerships with leading global studios and partners around the world.”

EN visited the second and final day of the Care Show at Excel London yesterday. The show is dedicated to the adult social care sector with the latest innovations, expert advice and new developments all on showcase.

Organised by CloserStill Media, the Care Show brought together 200 healthcare suppliers across the two days with over 180 speakers.

EN spoke to Michael Corbettt, portfolio director for the Care Show, who told us about Care Show London and this year’s event: “Care Show is one of the largest focused event around social care. It is aimed predominately at the elderly care sector. We have run Birmingham for 20 years, for London this is its second edition.

“You will find everything you would find in a care home from carpeting to solar panels. It is the one event where the industry can come together and really chat with each other, find solutions and grow as a unity.”

He then delved into the show’s content programme: “We went for a different approach this year. We have three celebrity speakers – Anna Richardson, David Baddiel and Rosemary Shrager. The reason we picked those is because they all have links to dementia or elderly care, they have the lived experience. We haven’t picked the names to draw in a crowd but because they understand the industry. We create our content based on key topics so everyone can learn something.”

Corbett then told us how the show developed from its launch show last year: “Last year was the launch and there was the initial buzz. Then you have to ask ‘how do you take that initial launch and keep growing? Focus on two different audiences – how do you get that buying from the delegate and we have done that through better networking; and how you get the exhibitors talking about it”.

Corbett then revealed Care Show’s future plans: “How we look at the show is that it is the middle of your marketing campaign, its not the beginning or the end. It is about the build up and the hype, then you have the show and its about how you close it afterwards. That’s where the show has improved year on year.

“We have big expansion plans, more fringe events, more encouraged networking rather than serendipitous networking. And the aim of that is to get individuals talking more within groups so they feel like they have an ally or someone to share their wisdom”

Now the curtains are closed on Care Show London’s second year, CloserStill Media will be hoping for even bigger and better things when Care Show London returns to Excel London in April 2026.
