Have Business Tech Conventions and Expos Become Unnecessary?

Information, almost all of it, is at our fingertips if we know where to look. Online search engines have served us well for decades, but now, AI can filter through, grab the information meticulously put out to the world by others, and deliver it to us efficiently. Throw in the reliability of modern video calls and how connected the business world is through specialised social platforms, and it’d be fair to think that you don’t need to leave the office to get the latest on new and useful business tech. So, have business tech conventions and expos become unnecessary?

A Constantly Evolving Space

The world of tech in business is evolving all the time and is incredibly competitive. Especially in the corners of entertainment tech, competitive platforms are always finding new ways to leverage ideas. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the iGaming space. For example, sites like Betfair live casino, show the digital evolutions the sector has undergone in recent years, with live dealer games now able to be streamed to players at home. This genre of casino gaming has brought in a new era of immersive games, demonstrating how brands are now competing to provide games with the best user experience and innovation.

However, by the time they’re released online to a casino, competitors will be left catching up. This is possible, of course, but the leaders of the industry are the ones who identify the future hits early and include them in their newest releases at the earliest opportunity. It’s not just digital products that rapidly evolve behind the scenes. Tools that can be applied much more broadly do as well. Take the absurd rise of artificial intelligence in under a decade, for example.

In just four years from 2019 to 2023, AI’s ability to effectively compute increased by 10,000-fold, and continues to advance through 2025. Finding out how the tech works now and how it will work is integral to making the most of it. Of course, other business tech corners are also advancing, but more subtly, as is the case with data storage solutions, automation, customer relationship management, cybersecurity, in the Internet of Things, and in digital transformation as a whole.

There is a lot of information available online, but even in an increasingly digital, automated, and tech-driven business world, there isn’t a replacement for what a business convention or expo can offer. Just on the information front, at these events, you get to talk with people who’re working on these innovations, find out exactly if they’re right for you, and see what the future of your industry may hold if you jump into a new creation early.

On top of this, there’s still the undeniable benefit of networking. Meeting others in the industry, people who’re looking to bolster businesses of all kinds through new tech, and simply being able to muse over some important topics with others in the now is invaluable. Being in a space like a tech conference may also get your own gears turning. Seeing these new ideas, bits of tech, and applications might spark some creativity in you and get you thinking of ways that your business can innovate.

All in all, business tech conferences and expos are still necessary for any business leaders or thinkers who want to keep ahead of the competition, find new solutions to persistent problems, discover the products of the future, and, above all else, innovate.
