Guests attending the BII Luncheon will be served up with iPads which will allow them access to a wide range of information during the annual event.

Those attending the event will be able to access a welcome from new BII chief Tim Hulme, event schedule, table plans, guest lists, menu, profiles of the finalists for both the BII Licensee of the Year and the Jeremy Allen awards, sponsor messages and other key information.

The iPads will also allow guests to network as users so they can message one another, arrange to meet or swap contact details. Guests will also be able to use the tablet devices to give feedback to the organisers at the event finale.

This year’s annual lunch may also herald the hosting of live research as BII polls the 1,000-strong audience on a raft of issues, with guests voting via the iPads, which are being provided by supplier Event Pad.

BII chief executive Tim Hulme, said: “This year’s BII Annual Lunch is set to be the most eagerly-anticipated ever as we bring a digital dose of cutting-edge innovation to the table. The introduction of the iPad will give guests greater interaction and a wealth of information about the event which they can access at the touch of a button.

“These exciting innovations reflect the direction that we are taking as a modern, switched-on, dynamic, progressive organisation, which is here to provide the very best levels of support and development in the industry, today and in many years to come.”

The lunch and AGM takes place at Grosvenor House, Park Lane, London on 14 May.
