Research carried out for IMEX America by MPI (Meeting Professionals International), confirms the growing role technology plays in the meetings world, with more than 40 percent of respondents surveyed using laptops or mobile devices to capture content real time.

\n

Of that group 10.5 percent of professionals always use them for note taking and 31.6 percent use them sometimes. According to the survey for IMEX America, which takes place from 18th to 20th October 2016 in Las Vegas, handwritten notes continue to be the choice of the majority (57.1 percent) while just 0.8 percent record their observations.

\n

Carina Bauer, CEO of the IMEX Group, observed: \u201cIn an era when capturing live content on laptops, tablets and smartphones is intrinsic to our working lives, it is interesting to quantify the extent to which they are being used in conferences and meetings at present. With millennials \u201ckeyboarding\u201d virtually everything from an early age, usage is only likely to increase in the near future, particularly as technology evolves.\u201d

Carina Bauer welcomes at\u00a0IMEX America and Smart Monday
\n

An additional IMEX Group survey of nearly 1,200 respondents also showed that the technology sector is predicted to deliver the next big innovation in meetings and events. The survey revealed that 40 per cent of hosted buyers, 34.5 per cent of visitors and 37.5 per cent of exhibitors thought technology would drive the next major development in the meetings industry. New apps, virtual meetings and meeting room technology were all cited as examples of how innovation in event technology is making waves across the industry.

\n

Meeting professionals can preview some of the latest technology set to impact the way they do business at the #IMEXpitch taking place on 18th October at IMEX America. Event technology start-ups have the opportunity to showcase their products to an audience of event professionals at the show, culminating in five finalists competing in a live head-to-head pitch competition.
