The New Guest Experience Essentials. Presented by accesso
1:00 pm E.T
Today’s guests expect to be able to navigate every step of their interaction with your venue directly through their smartphones, essentially having “the world in the palm of their hands.” The proof that mobile is truly leading the way is in the numbers, with industry data showing that mobile purchases are expected to account for nearly 73% of global online sales this year alone. Is your venue ready to meet and exceed these new guest expectations? Join accesso CCO Andrew Jacobs and SVP of Enterprise Solutions Ben Mathews to gain insight to the latest technology trends for our industry, discuss strategies for serving the next generation of guests, and explore how the right technology can set your venue up for a successful future.
