Science says the brain remembers 10 % of what it reads,  20% of what it hears, 90% of what it does after a week. Thus, if the goal is to sell an idea, an experience is the perfect way to convince or win the attention of your attendees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mixed reality (the use of both virtual reality and augmented reality) triggers almost every sense which makes it easier to reach out to people. It also transforms information into knowledge. Information is the processed data but knowledge is the information gained through experience. Virtual reality and augmented reality therefore, offer a unique experience for everyone that intends people to learn, feel and process even new ideas. Below are the use cases for event organizers who desire to turn events more engaging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 id=\"bring-in-a-virtual-reality-demo\">Bring in a Virtual Reality Demo\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Bringing a virtual reality demonstration of your product or service allows your attendees to bring home a satisfying experience. Car companies such as Ford, Mazda, Tesla, and Hyundai are some of the examples that successfully pulled off a VR test-drive demo. You get a specialized VR headset gear and you’re driving in a different world (like how you would in real). A fun and safe activity even for people who plan to buy a car but still learning to drive. Hence, less accountability and less liability. Also, it is a massive help for \u003Cstrong>brand awareness and entertainment\u003C\u002Fstrong> – like hitting two birds with one stone.  We know your budget is always tight but now there’s no excuse that you lack the traveling budget or can’t get cross borders approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 id=\"take-augmented-reality-to-fashion-and-showrooms\">Take Augmented Reality to Fashion and Showrooms\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Events as prestigious as the New York Fashion Week invested in transforming an ordinary fashion show to a futuristic one. Got you curious? It may look like a regular stage but when you look at it through a tablet or an iPad, you’ll see digital objects layered everywhere. This will also work for gala and auction events. Imagine all the tasks you have to do in a limited time. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One wise compromise for this is to create a virtual reality showroom which a good location, a set of VR equipment and a sumptuous course of meals are all you need to think of. Save money on logistics, permits, security and other related expenses and avoid spending too much time on carrying out delayed processes. No need to worry about losing the items for they only exist virtually. Instead of exposing these luxury pieces to everyone, you can just create a VR showroom with all the luxury pieces ready to be sold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Play Video\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Ffashiontech.berlin\u002Fen\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source: FashionTech Berlin\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 id=\"save-the-best-experience-for-vips\">Save the best experience for VIPs\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Let’s all be honest. Events are not only for a social gathering or brand awareness but also for encouraging potential business partners and attracting clients too. Of course, all of your attendees are special guests. But at every event there are VIPs and you can’t forget to save them a seat or give them a special privilege.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>\nImagine organizing a big event and allowing all of your guests to do the Virtual and Augmented Reality demo in a 3-hour duration of the event. And in order to get the best of the demo, it has to be experienced at least 5 minutes per person. So, within that 3 hours, only 36 people can do the demo for 5 minutes. Who would you want to give that experience to? As event organizers, it is a duty to make sure your most important guests get the most out of the event and get your VIPs the WAAOW effect they deserve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 id=\"manage-a-vip-demo-list\">Manage a VIP demo list\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Our event experts recommend you to \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fevents.eventor.app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">create an event\u003C\u002Fa> on Eventor app to manage the VIP Guest that you know are coming for the demo.

More like gaining the trust in the company and the products being presented to the market. Since events are always busy, event organizers surely need a tool to track and monitor event attendees.
