Level up your Events with the Top Tech Trends of 2025 - 3 Trends Shaping the Future of Event Production
By Gabe Capella, Senior Sales Manager, ON Services, June 30, 2025
And how to bring them to life. Live events move fast, but the ones that matter most are those that move people—by staying ahead of trends and creating moments that truly connect. Event attendees are more discerning than ever. They’re looking for meaningful connections and experiences that deliver that unforgettable wow factor.
We identified three trends (and ideas on how to implement them!) that are shaping the future of event production:
1. Real Content Brings Authenticity
Event attendees are more discerning than ever. They’re not drawn to overly scripted or polished moments—they crave authenticity: storytelling, spontaneous interactions, and experiences that feel genuinely human.
Make your events more authentic:
- Include unscripted speaker moments or fireside chats that spotlight the people behind the brand—this humanizes your message and builds trust.
- People love to share their experiences! Incorporate live social media walls to highlight attendee-generated content.
- Capture and share behind-the-scenes moments in real time to give your audience a peek into the heart of the event.
2. Bold Tech Equals Unforgettable Experiences
Technology is no longer just a support act—it’s center stage. The most memorable events use bold tech to create immersive, personalized, and unforgettable experiences.
What is bold tech, you ask? It includes:
- Creative LED or Scenic + LED displays with shape and depth—like arched entryways (seen here from ROE Visuals) or transparent LED walls.
- AI-powered networking tools that match attendees based on shared interests.
- Holographic presenters or performers beamed in from across the globe.
- AR-enhanced event apps with interactive maps and gamified content.
- Projection mapping that transforms venues into dynamic storytelling canvases.
- High-quality projectors and cameras (like those from Panasonic) that deliver the visual impact your audience expects.
3. Designing with Sound First
Sound is often the unsung hero of unforgettable events. In 2025, acoustic strategy is becoming a key differentiator—from immersive audio zones to branded sonic identities (like audio logos or walk-on music) that boost brand recall, to spatial audio that guides movement and enhances storytelling.
Enhance your audio experience:
- Create a distinctive audio logo to boost brand visibility.
- Use directional sound to create personal listening zones.
- Optimize venue layout to maximize clarity of speech and music.
Final Thoughts
By embracing authenticity, leveraging cutting-edge technology, and prioritizing sound design, you can meet—and exceed—modern audience expectations.
