The team went into full celebration mode with news of EventsCase making the shortlist for two prizes at the Event Technology Awards \u2013 for Best use of Technology at a Brand Event <\/strong>and the hotly contested Best Event App<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n These awards draw competition from all around the global event tech space and it\u2019s an honour to make the list of nominees. The winners will be announced at Event Tech Live between November 2 – 6 and we\u2019ll be keeping everything crossed for a positive result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The party didn\u2019t stop there, as September saw EventsCase turning eight years old. We\u2019ve come a long way from our humble beginnings as an online community and forum, expanding into multiple markets, launching an unrivalled set of tools and giving event organisers a solution to rely on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A big thanks to all our clients, partners and staff, as without you, it simply wouldn\u2019t have been possible. Here\u2019s to the next eight years and beyond!<\/p>\n\n\n\n To further cement our commitment to online experiences, we announced a new partnership with the Virtual Event Institute (VEI), a global platform designed to educate, inspire and support its members in the hosting of virtual and hybrid gatherings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Part of our agreement will see EventsCase become a platform sponsor at VEI\u2019s \u2018Summit\u2019 event in November, covering \u201cThe Future of the Global Events Industry\u201d, which our technology will also help to run. For more information, head to https:\/\/www.virtualeventsinstitute.com\/summits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following the news that Event Tech Live<\/a> will take place virtually, we\u2019re proud to offer our support as Headline Sponsors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The conference is known for delivering cutting-edge insight from the world of event tech and could attract its biggest ever audience with news of it heading online. We\u2019ll be delivering some commentary of our own through a keynote session on the Main Stage among several other initiatives in the lead up to the event.

With a view to producing some insight of our own, we decided to ask 500 event pros about our chances of returning to \u2018business as usual\u2019 amid widespread disruption to face-to-face gatherings.
