In recent years, the rise of new technologies has led to a revolution in the way we communicate and connect with each other. From social media to virtual reality, technology has made it easier than ever to stay connected with people from all over the world, even if we're physically distant.

However, in the midst of this technological revolution, there has also been a growing sense of disconnection and isolation. Many individuals believe that by abstaining from face to face interactions, they miss out on the human connections that can be made, and because of this, we're witnessing a resurgence of in-person events that are bringing people together in new and exciting ways.

Let's explore the ways in which technology and in-person events are intersecting and why in-person events are becoming more popular again with the rise of technology.

The Desire for Human Connection: Despite all the ways technology has made it easier to connect with others, many people still crave for the personal connection that comes from meeting face-to-face. In-person events offer a unique opportunity to form deeper connections and build long term business relations with others. Be it a business conference or a social gathering, meeting in person can create a memorable and impactful experience that cannot be replicated in a virtual setting.

The Need for Shared Experiences: In a world that's increasingly fragmented and individualistic, in-person events offer a chance for people to come together and share common experiences. This can be incredibly powerful and can help people believe that they're part of something larger than themselves. Physical events enable people to connect with like-minded individuals and thus feel a sense of belonging. While online events can be helpful in networking with fellow industrialists and essential stakeholders, there's no substitute for meeting someone in person and having a conversation face to face. In-person events provide a chance for attendees to build important connections with peers, industry leaders and potential clients, which can lead to new opportunities and career growth.

Multi-Functional Language Translators: In-person events can leverage technologies that facilitate simultaneous interpretations and live translation. This will make the event truly global and provide great mileage for the event. Attendees can now easily communicate with people who speak different languages, which can lead to better collaboration and understanding.

Mobile Apps and Wearables: Wearables, such as NFCs and RFIDs in wristbands and badges, can be used as scanning elements to help monitor attendee behaviour and patterns. They can also be used to monitor footfalls at events and how attendees have been participating throughout. It can also be used to personalise the attendee's experience by providing relevant information and recommendations based on their behaviour.

Contactless Check-Ins: Artificial Intelligence based face recognition and other contactless check-ins are recognised technologies that improve event security. They allow for faster registration and speed up entries, bidding farewell to long waiting times and queues. Thus, greatly helping in enhancing the experiences in the events.

The resurgence of in-person events in the era of a new tech revolution is an exciting trend that's likely to continue in the years to come. By combining the power of technology with the human desire for connection and shared experiences, event organisers are creating new and innovative ways to bring people together. Whether you're looking to build professional relationships, deepen personal connections, or simply have some fun, there's no doubt that in-person events will continue to play an important role in our lives.
