Events are enormous. When visitors attend any event, they go frantic as they have to connect with so many things at a time.  They feel like they are blindfolded and pushed into the puddle of events, leaving baffled and exhausted.  Not knowing what is where and what to see first?

If these FAQ’s are answered with standing kiosk having voice technology, it will help to brief visitors about the product as many times as they want. With advancement in artificial intelligence, IoT (Internet of Things), and voice technology there would be minimum involvement of humans to human interaction and more of Machine to human.

     3) Drones plus Voice Technology for Events Security

Drones have already made headlines in events, capturing photos and live videos you could not have imagined. How drones along with voice technology will surreal this experience is still a topic of debate among bright minds. However, the basic application is foresighted in handling event security, especially where GPS don’t work. A human operator can patrol the pre-set path of the Events with voice commands and give direction to the drones accordingly.  They will also identify any threat or strangers with malicious intention entered in the exhibition.

     4) Voice Controlled Vending Machines

Attendees take their valuable time from their busy schedule to attend events but are seen more occupied with food stall then events. Stepping over the crowd, juggling through the queue and making a way out with food-plate holding up like an Olympic torch are common visuals.  Vending machines with voice command possibly could circumvent this problem, where food packs pop out at your command. It will not only help disperse the crowd but also save valuable time for events.

An app which gives you details of all service providers as well as happening events in your cities and nearby just at a pitch of your voice. Though ‘Siri’ and ‘Alexa’ do these to a certain level, a discrete app for events could only add value to the networking bit.

      6) Registering Attendees with voice integrated kiosk

Standing kiosks are quite common in events these days for registering attendees.  The self-registration process can be even speeded up with voice integrated kiosk, where attendees just have to stand in front of a kiosk and record their personal details.

      7) Voice technology for Feedback

Just like registering visitors detail on the system with Voice, the same goes for getting feedback on the services.  Visitors can give instant feedback on the event exhibitors as well as the product.  They can rate the exhibitors and give their suggestion on further improvement.

      8) Stand-up Scooter with Voice Technology for Events

Stand-up scooter or Hoverboard controlled by voice over should be an add-on to an Event.  The scooter can sync an event app through which attendees can scroll the event menu and hop around various events or exhibition without getting exhausted.  It also has an inbuilt charger that will keep your phone charged. But not all attendees can leverage this service as practically not possible to provide scooter to each and every individual attending the event.

      9) Voice Technology to track website traffic and Event popularity

Every individual is blessed with a unique voice. Search engines inducing voice recognition already, the further advancement in technology will not remain to search alone. The analytics will drift slowly from text-based to voice based. For events, you can estimate the number of visitors simply by tracking the voice analytics.  This will help event planner to encounter the ambiguity remained with the event popularity.
