RISE Spotlight is a monthly series of free-to-attend digital events, based around key ISE technology areas. Produced in partnership with TNW, they feature global subject experts, technology entrepreneurs and start-ups.
As the events industry goes through a crucial phase of recovery, we are all left wondering – what will audience and fan interaction look like in the future?
Whether virtual, in-person or hybrid, audiovisual and emerging tech will be at the heart of creating the next era of live experiences so, if you produce, host or supply events, you’ll need to be aware of what audiences are looking for and what tech is set to accelerate.
We bring together a seasoned group of live event professionals to share their view on emerging new business models, innovative ways of engaging with audiences and creating meaningful experiences.
Discover what you need to do to find opportunity in crisis and stay ahead of the game for the road ahead.
This edition of RISE Spotlight is produced in association with TPi (Total Production International).
