London, UK - Event Tech Live Europe’s only show dedicated to event technology – has announced that Scott Wilcox, Chief Innovation Officer for the legendary South By Southwest ® (SXSW®) Conference & Festivals will deliver the keynote session at this year’s event on the 9th of November in London.
Previewing the session, Event Tech Live’s organisers have revealed that Scott will discuss what’s next for mobile event technology and how event technologists can tap into app engagement to optimise their events.
