Tech Friendly Venues for Your Next Silent Disco

Bars, hotels and event spaces are getting more and more questions from event planners these days about what its venue can handle technically. And it’s not just the question, “do you have good Wi-Fi.” Using innovative ways to engage attendees is a priority for many event planners today, and venues have started to shift their focus from the priorities of catering and seating to making sure the space can handle the most unique and forward thinking technical or digital user experiences.While a silent disco party has a pretty simple tech set-up, it’s good to know what spaces can handle technically advanced setups.
