In-person events have naturally an added layer of complexity, especially when the attendee check-in experience and primary hub is held in a queue. In addition, on-site support with hardware is not always a feature made available by event technology providers. On-site event equipment is mostly available for rental, but doesn’t always include setup and technical support on D-Day.
Today we’ll lay out the benefits of working with an onsite event services partner and explain why onsite hardware support is one of the 10 must-have event management software features.
