The Simplest Definition
Interactive event technology is interactive when it creates a feedback loop:
An attendee takes action
The technology responds
The attendee sees/feels the result
If the attendee’s action changes the experience, it’s interactive.
What Counts as Interactive
Touchscreens that change content
Motion-activated displays
AR/VR experiences triggered by user choices
AI outputs personalized to each attendee
Live data visualizations influenced by participation
What Doesn’t Count (Common Confusion)
A TV loop playing video
A static LED wall without input
A slideshow
A QR code with no interactive layer beyond a link
Why Brands Should Care
Interactive tech increases:
attention
participation
recall
content creation
measurable outcomes
It’s not about “more screens.” It’s about making the audience part of the story.
