7 Reasons Tripleseat is Right for Your Venue
The event industry continues to evolve in the aftermath of the COVID pandemic. You may be wondering if Tripleseat is right for your venue. If we have learned anything from the crisis, event management technology plays a crucial role in success. Today, we see more events return to an in-person model, but we’re not reverting to our old ways. Our industry, culture, and customers have changed. We are still in the middle of a large-scale and exciting evolution.
COVID = Mass Adoption of Technology
The COVID pandemic certainly forced many venues to quickly and creatively change their way of running events and catering. To accommodate stay-at-home orders, social distancing, and sanitation requirements, many used digital services to cut down manual work. Tech helped them to improve operation efficiency, conduct online communications, run marketing initiatives, enhance products and services, process transactions, and analyze successes. Venues freed up staff time so that they were able to prioritize the job aspects that were impacted by the pandemic.
Likewise, customers quickly adapted to using digital services to work and live. Work-at-home restrictions made way for most people to embrace technology and come to expect modern-day tech to make things simple and accessible. Truly, we have seen a huge acceleration and mass adoption of technology.
Is technology required for success in event management?
Yes, regardless of the size of your event programs or whether you do in-house or catered events or to-go options, you need an event management platform. Even though we are not in crisis mode any longer, the fast pace of tech adoption is not likely to slow down.
Every event going forward will still need to maintain ever-changing COVID preventative protocols. You also will need to continue to improve operations, efficiency, and growth. Your customers likewise will continue to expect technology to save time, add convenience, and improve accuracy while they plan their events. If you use event management technology, you will see huge benefits.
