“This Company Just Won The First-Ever Shark Tank For Event Technology” by PCMA.

As new event technologies debut on a daily basis, plenty of meeting professionals are struggling to keep up with the wave of new apps, new data collection tools and new project management solutions. On Tuesday, January 10 at Convening Leaders in Austin, Texas, PCMA put some of the rising tools to the test in the organization’s first-ever Tech Pitch competition, a pitch contest that felt like an episode of ABC’s “Shark Tank.”
Dan Sherman, Founder and CEO of HIP Network, offered a simple comparison of ShowScore: CARFAX. Just as drivers can review reports of a vehicle’s history before making a purchase, ShowScore lets hoteliers and CVBs review a meeting’s performance history before bidding. It’s a business intelligence platform designed to track event spend. “This serves the entire event ecosystem,” Sherman said in his presentation. “You can communicate the history of spend and projected impact in future destinations.”

In today’s episode of #EventIcons, Dan will be answering your questions and helping you make sense of your event data. Once you fully understand the information gathered, you can produce more efficient events and better end results.
