In an exciting development for the events industry, the International Association of Exhibitions and Events® (IAEE) has joined forces with Gather Voices to bring a fresh, interactive experience to Expo! Expo! 2024, happening December 16-19 in Los Angeles. This collaboration promises to spotlight the voices of attendees, capturing authentic stories and insights from the people who make the event what it is.
This partnership leverages Gather Voices’ innovative video kiosk technology and pre-event content tools, enabling attendees and exhibitors to share their perspectives with ease. Imagine strolling through Expo! Expo! and having the chance to share your experience or perspective directly with a simple video setup—no complex recording equipment or editing skills required. It’s about amplifying the voices of participants and creating a lasting repository of content that resonates long after the event wraps.
Gather Voices is not just about video; it’s about empowering organizations to tell real stories from real people. At Expo! Expo!, attendees will engage with video kiosks designed to make capturing experiences intuitive and enjoyable. This aligns with IAEE’s vision to cultivate community and drive engagement in new, dynamic ways.
"By enabling attendees to share their unique perspectives in real time, we are expanding the reach of Expo! Expo! while creating a rich library of content that can serve IAEE and its community long after the event concludes,” says Michael Hoffman, CEO of Gather Voices. This approach allows organizations to extend the value of the event by gathering insights that are authentic and deeply connected to the attendee experience.
For IAEE, the partnership is a step toward enriching the overall event experience, both on-site and digitally. The content generated through Gather Voices will not only enhance real-time engagement during the event but will also serve as a valuable resource for post-event storytelling. This library of authentic videos can be repurposed for future marketing, giving prospective attendees a real sense of what Expo! Expo! has to offer through the eyes of past participants.
IAEE President and CEO, Marsha Flanagan, highlights the importance of this collaboration: “Expo! Expo! is the perfect platform to amplify the voices of our participants, and we are excited to see how this partnership will elevate engagement both on and off the show floor.” The excitement is not only about new tech but about giving attendees a platform to be heard and to become part of the narrative of Expo! Expo!.
Expo! Expo! isn’t just an event; it’s an opportunity to engage, connect, and now, to share your unique perspective. Whether you’re an exhibitor, an attendee, or someone passionate about the exhibitions industry, your voice is a valuable addition to this vibrant community.
