The Era Of Self ServiceDuring the panel panel discussion on Omnichannel Retailing And Digital Transformation Siddharth emphasized how AI-enabled apps such as e2m.live could vastly change the landscape of the global event management industry. Through attributes such as event registration, gamification and multi-event websites, event apps are on the threshold of disrupting the domain in an unprecedented fashion.When asked how his app would cater to older millennials and baby boomers who preferred the occasional personal touch, Mr. Jhunjhunwala drew their attention to ZOE, Web Spiders’ AI chatbot offering that can effortlessly integrate with the event app. To date, ZOE has been remarkably successful at responding to close-ended queries such as the Wi-Fi password, navigation on the event floor, location of the food-stalls, etc.Gamification, Augmented Reality And Virtual Reality
