Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for using real-time Natural Language Processing (NLP) to extract key phrases from text associated with actions being taken by an attendee of a live event. Using that key phrase data, the system can build a weighted collection of key phrases associated with contacts, attendees, sessions, and/or other areas of interest, and provide suggestions to the user/attendee regarding who to meet, what sessions to attend, what exhibitors to visit, etc.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for quantifying augmented reality interaction. An exemplary system can be configured to capture, via a camera of a mobile computing device, a video feed, and extract, via a processor of the mobile computing device, an image from the video feed. The system can then determine, via the processor, that the image corresponds to a stored image in a plurality of stored images stored in an image database, resulting in a determination, and retrieve, via the processor and based on the determination, interactive content associated with the stored image. The system can then display, via a display of the mobile computing device, the interactive content as an augmented reality overlay.

Abstract: System platform, software and hardware equipment and components, and methodologies are provided for gathering, organizing, distributing and synchronizing information about events, event attendees or group activities associated with events. Event management system and methods include mobile software application platform for event participants to receive push content, and generate and share real time activity feed(s) on various social media and/or dialogue platforms via a server that transmits push information (notifications, ads, alerts, updates) to event participant's mobile application, receives activity feed information from mobile application, and selectively transmits activity feed information to social media and/or dialog platforms. Events include conferences, tradeshows, seminars, or any activities involving one or more participants. Event participants include attendees, exhibitors, speakers, sponsors, organizers, or any other groups or individuals associated with event.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media which train a machine learning algorithm using a training set of Requests for Proposals (RFPs), then cluster a second set of RFPs using the trained machine learning algorithm. Distinct clusters are then compared to historical data, and an outlier is identified. An alert regarding that outlier is then transmitted across a network to an entity associated with the outlier.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media of providing a predicted rate based on information about the property, the customer, and the amenities that a supplier has proposed. The rate may be based on many factors that can be extracted or derived from the historical bid data, including, but not limited to: location and market tier of the property, length of relationship with the channel (which may be an account or customer), the included amenities, the cancellation policy, the size of the account's or channel's event, the season of the booking, the proximity of the channel's offices of the account or channel to the property. Increased confidence that a customer is getting a fair rate facilitates negotiations between contracting parties.

Abstract: A group-based lead management platform can efficiently manage and score leads for suppliers such as hotels. The platform can manage leads in a separate layer above the underlying systems that controls inventory. The platform can automatically adjust lead scoring strategy based on the pace of inventory booking relative to plan. The platform can take into account historical booking patterns of a supplier in generating lead scores. The platform can auto-assign or estimating one or more events associated with a group booking to one or more units of event space. The platform can provide a lead score in a user interface that also provides a visual breakdown of the scoring strategy components weighting the score.
