Event Domes: The Future of the Global Event Industry
Early 2020 might have changed the events industry. Still, some have come to appreciate the amazing way technology has brought us together, taking us virtually anywhere we desire. Leveraging digital technology for marketing and events is proving to be a safer, more effective, and certainly more affordable option. With event technology, we can turn the most intimate of gatherings into massive, extraordinary experiential showcases. One way to accomplish this is through the use of event domes. These immersive domes can sweep you away from your surroundings and place you anywhere you desire. Imagine a yoga class in the middle of the city; you feel immersed in nature, surrounded by serene visuals and soothing soundscapes. How about a virtual opportunity to try out new products in the most lifelike of adventures? It’s safe to say the event dome is here to stay as we move into the future of the global events industry.

What are Event Domes?
So you may be wondering what are event domes? Well, essentially, they are precisely what they sound like: an event that takes place in a dome! However, one thing that distinguishes an event dome from another space is how versatile a dome can be. . Domes offer a few unique perks for event planners and promoters as well. . First off, they can be used as temporary, semi-permanent, and permanent structures. Secondly, Their unique shape is eye-catching and intriguing. Thirdly, they are incredibly customizable and can be made into oblong or elongated shapes and spherical domes.

What Kind of Event Domes Are There?
Event Domes are becoming increasingly popular due to their versatility, stability, and convenience. There are two main types of domes that are used as event domes- inflatable and geodesic. Inflatable Domes require an air blower, allowing them to be quickly constructed into all kinds of shapes with a high level of rigidity when fully inflated. Geodesic Domes utilize the tension between connected bars rather than air to maintain their structure; this makes building it easier and faster than an Inflatable Dome but offers less maneuverability since it’s not easy to quickly change the shape or size like you can with the inflatable option. Both have proven helpful for many events such as art shows, music concerts, corporate events, weddings, and sporting events and beyond, meeting different demands from customers based on their budget and needs.
