Wi-Fi Technology - Safeguard the security and success of your event

With the recent launches of 4G and the ipad mini hitting the headlines there can be no doubt that technology for the business world is changing and progressing faster than ever.

Conference Centres of Excellence venues have certainly noticed these changes in the meetings and event industry, where managing an increased level of connectivity requirements, and meeting a client’s technology needs are key to the success of an event.

The recent iBAHN whitepaper ‘Connectivity can make or break your conference or event – how can you plan a successful event and protect your ROI? offers meeting planners and venues new insights into managing event connectivity and planning for a successful event.

 ‘Office away from the office experience’

Conference delegates are increasingly likely to carry two, three or more devices and will require sufficient bandwidth to get them all connected during the event. Today’s delegate wants to have the same level of fast, secure access to presentation content as they do to their work and leisure content during their downtime . Being effective and productive whilst away from the office, safe in the knowledge that their content (both personal and professional) is secure and protected, is part of the ‘office away from the office’ experience.

‘Event Connectivity’

The rise in hybrid or blended events is also increasing the need for venues to facilitate growing connectivity demands. Combined requirements such as linking delegates online, sharing live content, streaming video and using social media to engage with the audience beyond the physical venues all add to the overall Event Connectivity requirements.

Conference Centres of Excellence venues recognise the importance of applying the same dedicated event planning process to event connectivity and network requirements, as they do to more traditional aspects such as room layout, dining styles,  special dietary requirements, , and variety of accommodation needs.  

Katharine Armstrong, Sales Manager of the Hotline Sales Team commented: “Our member venues achieve the highest level of professional standards in the meetings and event industry and this extends to providing a fast, secure and stable Wi-Fi network for all events. Our sales team understands that every client has different requirements and having the correct provisions for these can make or break an event. Keeping ahead of technology changes and the impact on the industry is vital for our venues to maintain the excellent quality standards and consistent levels of service.”
