The moat moved: what an event platform is worth when the interface is no longer yours
RainFocus has put three things on the record about its Model Context Protocol server that no other event platform has.

Speaker advocacy has a second half. Snapsight’s Speaker Remix goes after it
Pre-event advocacy fills the room. What happens to a speaker's ideas after they leave the stage has been the missing piece, and it is where AI session summaries finally become useful. Speaker advocacy has worked well for years, and it works before the doors open. Platforms like Premagic, Gleanin, and Snoball give speakers and attendees…

For as long as most of us have been in this industry, events have sat in the wrong column. Cost centre. The line finance…
Seek: when the AI becomes the game, not the gimmick
Gramercy Tech won Best AI for Attendee Engagement, Networking & Matchmaking for Seek, an AI-powered activation that turned an entire conference floor into a playing field, with Google Gemini as the real-time judge.
