Event planners can analyze this data to understand attendees' preferences regarding session topics, activities, and event formats. This allows them to curate a program that aligns with attendees' interests and increases engagement.
New Takes on Educational Content:
Educational content is an essential part of events, providing attendees with valuable knowledge and insights.

This includes pre-event information about protocols, on-site signage to guide attendees, and regular updates throughout the event to address any concerns or changes.
