There is no arguing that today’s trade shows and conferences wouldn’t be the same without mobile devices such as iPads and smart phones. But where are all those devices coming from and what do you have to keep in mind? Denis Vigo, founder of @Choose2Rent stopped by to answer those questions with 3 simple tips:
Read MoreThe #eventtech and app world can be bridged with many different industries, as we all know by the growing number of company events held per year. Although the position of event coordinator has moved down the list of most stressful jobs of 2015 by Forbes since last year, it’s still important to acknowledge the health and wellness of your clients and team.
That’s why we were thrilled to be able to participate in Work From Om‘s #MindfulMeetings at one of our favorite (and previously featured, way back when) venues, Offsite NYC. Guests included event professionals from around the area, and we even got to get some #techsytalk in (between oms) with our friends from Liz King Events.
When it comes to selecting your mobile event registration app or event guest list app, keep this wellness factor in mind: more time dedicated to doing a job well done and less stress. Read on below through this week’s highlights for our suggestions.

SCENARIO
Whether it’s a good T-Swift acoustic cover or an informative “How-To” session, everyone loves a good online video. That’s where VidCon comes in: an event created to help revolutionize the way people today, learn, experience, share, and communicate through video online.
Read MoreTalk of the town over the last couple of weeks? Interaction and engagement at events. Through the use of name tags, activities, entertainers, speakers, and technology, there are so many ways to keep guests engaged and coming back for more.
The most popular pin this week!
This week’s edition of Feature Friday is keeping this theme of interaction and engagement…Wait ‘til you see this week’s event detail!

A couple of years ago, it may have been something that many event professionals were only dabbling in, but any which way you slice it– technology attracts. It’s also great when there’s more hands-on tech for attendees: when we’re at registration, guests usually peer and sometimes pop over onto the other side of the table (or kiosk) to man the iPads and test out the Boomset Check-In system for themselves.
Tech events, tech news, #techsytalk (!), we can’t get enough. Besides the smart tablet, Google Glass, and this awesome way to take a #selfie, here are a few gadgets that are sure to attract and engage attendees at your next event.

In case you missed it…printers are going mobile! You can now inquire one of our team members over at Boomset about using the the Zebra QLn 420 at your next event. Why?
- It’s user-friendly
- It’s cordless (it powers itself)
- And it connects via Bluetooth (which means you can use it in venues with poor WiFi coverage)
If you’re thinking of doing something with custom pre-printed stock–you’re in luck: this tech gem is compatible with those, too.
No onto some highlights, shall we?
Read MoreYou’ve heard about this news and all this, right? Well, we’re going to jump right into our Feature Friday because it has been long enough, no? We’re craving it–like one of these. (Eventbrite Melbourne knows what we’re talking about!)
Read MoreIt has been a project-in-the-making that is finally making its big debut:
Boomset event management is now on both OSx and Microsoft systems!
Check it out in action!
“Should I use Mac on a Windows machine? Windows on my Mac? Where can I access the Internet on this thing?" There has been debate throughout the years about what operating system to use, and Mac & Windows are the two major players in the game.

It’s all about preference, and by now we’re sure you’re comfortable with one or more systems. As both Windows and OSX are compatible for use within each other on most devices, you don’t have to commit to one or the other, but it’s definitely good to have the knowledge and basic skills for both. You never know when there will be a failure–in battery or device–or a mishap that requires you to utilize your Plan B (or C, D, E…tc.) to access your data.

We’ve all been there. (Maybe not there, but…we can totally empathize!)
Do a basic search, ask the tech nerds friends in your life, or even any of these fine folk their opinion. Don’t forget about our live demos where you can ask questions and How-Tos with the team!
And we’re not talking about the movie–though some of us definitely enjoy a good RomCom every now and then.
Swoon.
There has been little time for a trip to the movies, as Boomset has been popping up around the States & looking into events overseas in Europe and Australia, too. (We have, however, been “catching up” on all that World Cup stuff…)
