Technology is constantly evolving, and there are new products available that can strengthen your marketing arsenal. Janet Newenham, Community Manager at Meetingsbooker.com, has compiled a list of innovative tech tools that can benefit any trade show marketer!

1. Social Playground. The Australia-based startup brings Instagram to life though a live printer that pulls images with a designated hashtag and creates high-quality, polaroid-style prints. Attendees’ using your hashtag at an event will create online buzz and build brand awareness.
2. Loopd. This wearable technology comes in the form of a lanyard-style neckpiece. The device uses Bluetooth technology to record where you’ve been, who you’ve met with, and even exchange contact information.
3. Eversnap. This photo-sharing system uses a mobile app to post images to an online album in real time. It’s a great way to collect photos from event participants and present them in one place.
4. Snapcastr. This startup company creates live social walls populated with pictures and tweets from attendees. It searches for your event hashtag and lets you control the displayed content.
5. FanFootage. The Irish startup allows fans to upload videos to a single platform. You can then access and edit the user-submitted footage after the event concludes.
6. Catchbox. Catchbox is the world’s first “throwable microphone”. It’s a small, padded cube that automatically mutes itself as it flies through the air, making it easier to pass the microphone and engage audience members.
7. Conferize. This online platform caters to event organizers and participants. It presents visitors with a streamlined itinerary, live social feeds from the event, and a real-time attendee list.
