Middle East Event Show June 14 – 15, 2023
I’m excited to share my inclusion as a panelist at the much-anticipated Middle East Event Show (MEES), scheduled for June 14-15, 2023.
MEES is an annual convention where the movers and shakers of the event industry gather to share ideas and inspire innovations. This year, I have the honor of sharing my insights on two panel discussions that explore the intersection of technology and event management. Join me on this journey and let’s redefine what’s possible in the world of events.

From hybrid productions and augmented reality (AR) to the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) – we will touch upon the vast spectrum of tech-driven enhancements that are revolutionizing the way we organize and experience events.
We’ll delve into practical applications, such as the use of crowd management technology for optimal attendee experience, event management software for streamlined operations, and smart mobile apps that enhance interaction and engagement. Moreover, we’ll discuss how the augmented and virtual reality future will be transformed with Apple’s new Vision OS and Mixed Reality (MR) headset, Apple Vision Pro.
Session Two: “The Future of Events: AI’s Transformative Impact on the UAE’s Eventscape”
?️ June 15th, 2023 at 14:15
In the second session, we’ll shift our focus to the revolutionary influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on the event industry. As the UAE continues to lead the AI revolution, it’s crucial to examine how this technology is reshaping event operations and guest experiences.
Drawing from my own journey of two years in R&D and the successful deployment of AI through our flagship Dragon O by LedPulse, the world’s most advanced 3D volumetric display. We’ll dive deep into how AI and interactive holography are pushing the boundaries of event experiences for meaning full engagement with realtime data.
We’ll explore the potential of AI in personalizing event experiences, the role of chatbots and virtual assistants in customer service, and how smart venues are transforming the event landscape. In addition, we’ll analyze how facial recognition is streamlining event operations, ensuring a seamless experience for attendees.
The road to the future of events is filled with transformative possibilities, and I invite each one of you to join me on this exciting journey. Register now for MEES 2023 and together, let’s redefine the event industry with creativity, technology, and innovation.
Look forward to seeing you there, and remember, as your Creative Technologist, I’m committed to keeping us ahead of the game 😉
