Eco stages


The Stage Bus Reinvents Sustainable Staging


Live events need sound and spectacle, but that usually means sky-high power use. The Stage Bus flips the script with solar-powered stages that run on 90% less energy. No diesel, extra trucks, or waste.


What started as one double-decker in 2007 is now eight mobile stages, each with built-in PA, lighting, and sound. Roll in, set up, power up – no footprint. They’ve cut landfill waste to zero, switched to HVO fuel, and are electrifying their fleet.


For planners chasing green goals without losing impact, this is the future of staging.


Fresh Finds


How to NOT Waste Your B2B Sponsorship


Dumping cash on a B2B sponsorship and hoping for magic? That’s how you end up with a sad bowl of mints and zero leads.


Evan Patterson lays out how to actually make it worth your while – tease the crowd before you show up, ditch the useless swag, and turn your booth into the place people want to be. Less wasted budget, more real connections.



Real Wins


The Tech That Kept AIME 2025 Moving


AIME 2025 could’ve been a maze of long lines and lost opportunities.


Instead, check-ins were instant, exhibitors ran their booths with zero friction, and attendees walked away with insights – without scrambling for notes.


Gevme’s tech did more than just support the event. It kept it moving.


Event Tech Trivia


How Event Tech Stopped Shouting


Early '90s badge printers used impact technology that reached 85 decibels – event managers called the noise "the cricket." These machines were so loud that registration areas needed sound barriers, and staff developed hand signals to communicate over the racket.


Today's thermal badge printers are whisper-quiet while printing 4 times faster, and some newer RFID badge systems can write data to 100 credentials at once, completely eliminating those infamous registration lines.


Make event chaos a thing of the past.
