As technology starts to
play an increasingly important role in events, so the
implications of a technology “drop out” become all the
more dire. Having someone to set up and manage the
technology you are using and ensure that everything runs
smoothly is of paramount importance. Although
little is spoken of successful technology
implementations, rest assured that a technology failure
at an event will make visitors think twice about
returning the following year.
