A venue is one of the most important aspects of an event and choosing the right one for your next meeting or conference will impact everything from accessibility and catering, to AV and logistics. The venue you select can easily make or break your event and, according to The Rise of the Smart Venue report that was released in July 2019, “choosing a venue that does not support a smooth execution with elements that wow or surprise attendees will, on the other hand, negatively affect the outcome”. This means that it is crucial to identify a venue that can support the objectives and outcomes of your event.

“Choosing a venue that does not support a smooth execution with elements that wow or surprise attendees will, on the other hand, negatively affect the outcome.”

The report unpacks some of the leading venues worldwide that are providing the most attractive offerings for event planners and setting the smart venue standard. It attempts to identify whether (a) all venues are offering the same features, and (b) are all venues transparent with event professionals. Innovation is also highlighted as a key feature of smart venues, specifically in terms of experience design, sustainability, and accessibility and inclusivity.
