FEATURED #EVENTTECH: SHARED XP
If an event isn’t engaging or lacks participation, it most likely won’t be a favorite among attendees. Even before thinking about the attendee experience, why not try event planning via shared experiences?
Shared XP is crowdsourcing and digital networking for event planners rolled into one simple platform. Simply register as 1) an event organizer and create an open (public) or closed (shared URL access only) event OR 2) a contributor to the platform:
The idea is to stimulate conversation surrounding an event with ideas and suitable content provided by the community. Share tips and opinions around topics like event dates, speaker or workshop topics, venues, networking or social event ideas, and more.
The events community is just that: a community! Share your experiences and ideas or simply search events to get a feel for how it works here.
