Reinventing Live: The Always On Future of Events

Forget the traditional one-off, in-person event. Welcome to a new world, where event organizers no longer see themselves as pure organizers; rather their role is to facilitate - business, connections, education and advocacy.

Events are all about building communities and nurturing customer relationships 'all year round' - with the use of event technology at its core. So much so, that digital platforms with already highly engaged communities are adding events as a seamless extension of their services. With more competition, its imperative organizers help change the mind-set of their organizations. Are they in the business of events or value-adding community catalysts?
