Fresh Finds

Stop Making It Hard for Creators

Most events either ignore creators or make it a nightmare for them to join. But the media game has changed — creators should be part of your strategy.

Julius Solaris highlights Cannes Lions as a smart example, with its ‘Creator Rooftop’ driving real amplification. Instead of chasing big-name speakers, why not work with creators who bring engaged communities?

He’s got a starter strategy for those ready to rethink their approach. Worth a look.

What’s Keeping Event Pros Up at Night

Budgets are tighter. Expectations are higher. Plans change last minute.

Event pros are using AI, smarter vendor deals, and stripped-back designs to do more with less. Attendees want meaning, not just spectacle. Tech is evolving fast, but the human touch still matters.

Some say DEI is fading, but for many, it’s non-negotiable.

This piece dives into the biggest challenges and how top event pros are tackling them.

Gevme Appoints VX-Events as Exclusive Partner in the Philippines

Outdated event tech slows everything down — disjointed systems, clunky processes, too much manual work. This partnership changes that.

Gevme and VX-Events are bringing a full event tech suite to the Philippines that actually works together. Registration, check-in, exhibitor tools, websites — all in sync, all built to make organizing easier and events run smoother. Less time fixing problems, more time creating great experiences.

Event Tech Trivia

Before tech bros, there were tech women.

People act like “women in tech” is some new movement. It’s not.

• The first-ever computer programmer? Ada Lovelace.

• The code that got us to the moon? Margaret Hamilton.

• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth? Wouldn’t exist without Hedy Lamarr.

Tech has always had women at its core, just without the loud applause. Same with events.

So if you’re out there running the show, fixing things last minute, or making everything run like clockwork, Happy Women’s Day! You’ve been doing this all along.
