Event apps enable event planners to plan and present their events well-organized, ensuring a personalized experience for attendees. An event app helps in better execution, precise management of events, and robust engagement of attendees. Event apps also allow people to connect to their audience from anywhere, providing a way to engage with the audience before, during, and after the event, saving time and money. Such advantages are propelling the North America event apps market growth.

Benefits of event apps such as better value to the audience, access to event information at fingertips, and enhanced planning and management solutions are propelling the North America event apps market growth. For instance, Crowdcompass, a US-based mobile event app provider for in-person and virtual events, enables people to attend events to absorb content and network, provides attendees with interesting content, and centralizes the event management process into one common channel. The growing demand for conferences, trade shows, universities, and even entertainment events is anticipated to boost the North America Event Apps market growth. Integration of advanced solutions such as networking, content absorption, and audience engagement increases convenience for attendees and improves management efficiency for planners, which is further anticipated to propel the North America event apps market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on North America Event Apps Market

Governments in the region enforced travel restrictions, lockdowns, and social distancing measures to curb the spread of COVID-19. This adversely impacted the North American Event apps market in March 2020. Corporate events, conferences, exhibitions, seminars, fundraising, trade shows, festivals, music and art performances, product launches, and sporting events were the most commonly held events in the event industry in the pre-pandemic era. According to the industry experts, conferences accounted for 62% of the events in the industry, followed by corporate events at 61.2%. The growth in the event industry during the pre-pandemic era was attributed to the rise in the number of corporate companies and the frequency of events organized. A survey conducted by Meeting Professional International (MPI) and Event MB reveals the negative impacts of the COVID-19 on the events industry in North America, with around 96% of event cancellations and rising risks related to job security. Terminated contracts led to significant revenue losses, further impacting the North American events industry during the pandemic. However, as the economies began to open and recover from the COVID-19 crisis, event planners and organizers in North America turned toward technology to find a new way of attending events. Many organizations are embracing virtual events to substitute in-person events. Virtual events enable event organizers to connect and maintain a business relationship with a large number of audiences. There has been a surge in numerous video conferencing platforms, social media, and event planning apps to organize virtual events. According to Events MB, 73% of event planners have successfully transitioned their events to the internet. This is estimated to boost the growth of the event apps market in North America. With new guidelines in 2021, states such as Maryland and Texas started reopening their economies, allowing businesses to operate without capacity restrictions. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) encourages event organizers to adhere to the regulations on gatherings and provides event organizers with crucial roadmaps to resuming events in the US. Event planners can currently organize events in some states in America; however, the global events industry is anticipated to stabilize after 2023.
