AI & Cybersecurity Summit cum FUJIFILM Business Open Innovation Center Ceremony
FUJIFILM Business Innovation Hong Kong's landmark event featuring Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry Ms. Lillian Cheong, Dr Sunny Chai, and Raymond Lam as keynote speakers. EventX managed the entire attendee journey — from RSVP and approvals to on-site check-in and real-time engagement — at the Hong Kong Ocean Park Marriott Hotel.
The Status Quo
For an invite-only summit with government officials and C-suite executives, a slow or disorganized check-in process was simply not an option. The team previously relied on manual RSVP tracking, paper-based check-in lists, and ad-hoc communication channels — none of which could deliver the polished, professional experience this event demanded.
With multiple high-profile speakers and a packed agenda of keynotes, panel discussions, and the Open Innovation Center launch ceremony, the organizers needed a solution that could handle guest list approvals, enable seamless check-in, and keep attendees engaged throughout the day — all without on-site technical hiccups.
FUJIFILM BI HK needed a partner that could deliver enterprise-grade event technology with the reliability expected at a government-attended ceremony.
Four Operational Hurdles
Complex check-in process
Traditional check-in methods were slow and cumbersome. For a private, invite-only event with VIP guests, long queues or manual name lookups would have created a poor first impression — especially for government officials and industry leaders.
Inefficient attendee management
Managing RSVPs and approvals for an invitation-only summit was time-consuming. The team struggled to track who had confirmed, who needed approval, and how to communicate last-minute changes to a dynamic guest list.
Limited communication and engagement
Without effective in-event communication channels, attendees missed agenda updates and had no easy way to participate in Q&A or polling. This stifled audience engagement during the keynote and panel sessions.
Technical support complexity
Setting up check-in hardware — iPads, printers, routers — required specialized expertise. Any on-site technical failure could disrupt the entire event flow, and the team lacked dedicated technical staff to manage and troubleshoot the equipment.
