For, example, while VR enables realistic training exercises based on real-life situations, AR enables the addition of new information to tangible products. When these technologies are introduced in pharmaceutical events, the events should offer great memorable experiences.
Gathering and analyzing behavior, engagement, and satisfaction data of attendees is now increasingly critical to evaluating the performance of pharmaceutical events. Post-event evaluation information is rather useful in revealing success and failure aspects to the event planners.
