With more and more smartphones coming out equipped with Near Field Communication chips, or NFC, more people are getting aware of the existence of this promising technology. But only a few actually know what exactly NFC is and that it can be used for many things – including events.
What Is Near Field Communication (NFC)?
To keep it short; NFC is a short-range wireless technology that uses inductive circuits to exchange data between two NFC capable devices. NFC is a special form of the known RFID technology (Radio Frequency Identification) with the difference that NFC has a working range of maximum 10 centimeters (4 inches) and can be set up for one- or two-way communication.

Dieses Jahr möchten wir euch über die aktuellen Trends & Entwicklungen zum Thema Nachhaltigkeit in der Eventindustrie informieren.
Das Thema Nachhaltigkeit spielt heutzutage eine große Rolle in der Eventindustrie. Bei jedem Event entstehen CO2-Emissionen, beispielsweise durch die Anreise der Gäste, den Energieverbrauch vor Ort oder die Unterkunft der Teilnehmer. Unvermeidbare Emissionen können durch die Unterstützung von international anerkannten Klimaschutzprojekten kompensiert werden.
amiando lädt Dich ein an dem Fragebogen über Nachhaltigkeit in der Eventindustrie teilzunehmen. Deine Meinung zählt!

Facebook’s long-awaited press conference was this week- Facebook
CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduced its Facebook Graph Search in San Francisco!
The search feature allows Facebook users to search within social connections for information such as people, photos, places and interests. It is possible to search through places by city, or places where friends like to be anywhere in the world. ”Graph Search is designed to take precise query and return to you the answer, not links to other places where you might get the answer,” said Mark Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg points out that with Graph Search, every Facebook user could find anything on Facebook. At the moment Graph Search is in a limited preview, beta phase. It is available to only a small number of people who use Facebook in US English. For those who are interested in the new feature, it is possible to sign up for a waitlist.
What does this mean for the event industry?
It could be interesting for event organizers to use Graph Search for their events in order to get more attendees. In the near future, Facebook users could type in “My friends who like social media and the event industry”, to get a list of friends who like both. With Graph Search people could find others and learn more about them and can easily find places, locations and more.
Event organizers could use the new Facebook feature for the marketing of events and raise awareness of the event. As an event organizer you should make it easy for your attendees to share everything around your event to increase the chance that your event is listed. Furthermore you should search for similar events in order to find Facebook users who could be interested in your event. If you are planning to hold a tourism conference in Berlin, you could type in “My friends who like tourism and are living in Berlin”.
We are very excited what will happen in the next weeks when Facebook rolls out Graph Search.
