Before downloading and installing something new, like an event app, keep in mind that each app will inevitably create new responsibilities. More updates to check and more pushed alerts to read. Most mobile apps require guests to sign-up, adjust phone settings or to recently have accessed the app to get any mobile benefits. This can latch crucial time away from our work, keeping us tied to our mobile devices with invisible strings.
How can technology enhance your corporate meeting experiences, so your brand is reflected too? We believe it’s important for meeting planners to consider redesigning the way that most people use their phone to avoid distractions. Distraction-free is a competitive advantage. When participants experience business event environments that encourage not instantly reacting to external priorities like social media updates, attendees are more likely to feel more engaged and connected with the organization’s strategic meeting objectives.
Research says it takes an average of 23 minutes to get back on task after an interruption. We believe organizations will begin to focus on experiences where attendees are the boss of managing their own attention (and privacy). In today’s increasingly fast-paced business environment, every moment is a battle to focus on what matters. Planners must remember this. Stay in control and connected in a convenient and effective way. No more inefficient mobile event app notifications and disruptions. There’s never been a time like this where transparency and efficiency have attendees questioning how they want to spend their time.
What decisions will you make in 2019 to help event planners AND attendees avoid distractions?
