Interaction Technology

 

We talk of event tech and technology for the workplace and for working remotely. Technology such as video conferencing which allows us to interact with each other even when we are in different locations.

It seems that work and events are going along a similar path. You can work remotely and attend events remotely also. Some employers now asking employees to return to the workplace, at least some of the time, a hybrid model of work seems to be developing. This is also the case for events. Hybrid events are gaining momentum.

Maybe we should not be talking of event tech but of interaction tech.

New Event App: ShareYaarNow

I came across a new event platform: ShareYaarNow – https://www.shareyaarnow.com

Lists events in chronological order and lets you search for events by location/category and lets you post your own events for free. It’s easy to use. If you simply want to find events then you don’t need to register. If you want to post your own events then you can register simply using your email address, create a password and verify your email and that’s it. It’s not a ticketing app but you can post your event details, including links, at no cost.

If you want to give your event an extra boost there is paid add-on you can select when posting your event called ‘Featured Event’. Select this add-on, pay and your event will appear in their website’s scrolling banner and in the ‘Featured Event’ section in the app.

Also, on the app you can set up your own ‘Team’ and post events just for that team which is useful if you're organizing events just for a group.

Give it a try!

Social Media, Communications, Fintech, Mobility and E-commerce

 

Recent items in the news include:

- TikTok owner Bytedance gets into fintech;

- Tencent teams up with automaker Geely for smart cars;

- WhatsApp is using its platform for fintech;

- Apple is getting into smart cars;

- Cruise, Microsoft and GM are partnering for smart cars.

When I see these news stories, there seems to be a convergence in Social media (content), communications (messaging), fintech (finance), mobility (transport and logistics) and e-commerce (trade and social commerce) sectors.

These sectors seem to be 5 major areas that firms are investing in and teaming up together to get market share. The businesses mentioned above have huge customer bases with which to offer more services. It seems to me that once firms get a large user base,they expand into one or more of these sectors.
