Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Event technology has become a cornerstone of modern event management, providing tools and platforms that transform traditional event experiences into interactive, engaging, and measurable experiences. In Birnin Gwari Local Government Area, Kaduna State, the adoption of event technologies such as mobile apps, virtual reality, live streaming, and interactive audience tools is beginning to gain traction. These technologies facilitate better communication, enhance participation, and provide real-time feedback mechanisms, making events more inclusive and dynamic. Studies from recent years emphasize the growing reliance on technology to create hybrid and virtual event experiences, particularly in the post-COVID-19 era (Okafor & Ibrahim, 2023; Yusuf et al., 2024). Event organizers in Birnin Gwari, however, face challenges such as limited technological infrastructure and uneven levels of digital literacy, which affect the accessibility and effectiveness of these tools. This study investigates how event technology is used to enhance audience engagement in Birnin Gwari, examining its impact and identifying barriers to its successful adoption.
