According to a survey by Statista published in September 2021, 35% of 8,227 marketers said they will hold in-person events for 2022. Now that the world is reopening and many events are returning onsite, we can truly feel the excitement.

However, the return of live events will definitely raise challenges to the digitally well-adapted industries.

The Thirst Has Been Quenched

Humans are social beings — socializing with one another is their nature, and nobody likes being physically distanced as it has been for the past two years. People long for the sensation of being together with each other at the same place, experiencing the same thing which brings every sense to life.

That’s why everyone, including the event industry, is overjoyed as the world starts to reopen.

Hallmark of an Event’s Success

Running a successful event is the ultimate goal for all event organizers worldwide. The success measurement is always interesting to discuss: what does an event require to be called a success?

If we say a music concert, for example, the number of audience is the success metric. If the tickets are sold out and there’s no empty seats in the venue, then it is counted as a great success.

Unfortunately, this is not always the case for business events. The large number of attendees filling in the venue during the event days is meaningless if they return home only with exhaustion from being lost in the venue, being unable to find a content that matches their interest, and finding themselves cramped together with other attendees.

This makes you think more: is my event truly successful just because it draws a huge number of attendees?

Quality Over Quantity

Live business events are never just about flocking people together in one place — it’s about creating opportunities for attendees and getting your business moving. No matter how crowded the venue is, the number of people attending the event will merely be numbers if you don’t generate leads and increase your revenue, and are unable to provide meaningful event experiences to them.

A successful event is when it resonates with every single stakeholder involved: providing an excellent matchmaking that connects attendees to exhibitor and contents, advanced engagement spanning all the way from prior to the event until long after it ends.

Success consists of many different layers and, most importantly, able to benefit all entities. At the end of the day, quality matters more than quantity.

Live Events and the Continuation of Digital Platform

During the height of social and physical restrictions, digital platforms emerged as a Messiah for the event industry. The virtual technologies enhancement made meetings and interactions possible. After going through a series of ups and downs of adaptation, everyone had adjusted so well to the surrounding circumstances at the time.

However, this year, the highly anticipated return of live events has materialized and it unexpectedly raised a question: have digital platforms become less important now that people can meet directly inside a venue and talk in-person without the need of a digital medium?
