In the first segment, we talk trends with Cramer’s senior director of strategic planning, [Joe Lovett](https://twitter.com/FreeLovett). Through [our collaboration with _Event Marketer_ magazine](http://cramer.com/insidestory/event-marketer-and-cramer-collaborate-on-a-new-weekly-trend-series/), we have identified three big trends that experiential marketers need to be on top of: [Responsive Experiences](http://cramer.com/trend/issue-1/), [Events and Robots](http://cramer.com/trend/issue-2/), and [Festivalization of Events](http://cramer.com/trend/issue-3/).

In our second segment, Kate and Brent look back at [EventTECH 2016](http://eventtech.eventmarketer.com/) and [unpack the conference’s five big themes](http://cramer.com/story/eventtech2016-recap/).

Finally, we wrap the episode through an in-depth conversation with [Beatrice Whelan](https://twitter.com/beatricewhelan), global content manager for social media and events at [Sage](https://www.sage.com/), and author of the popular book, _[Trending: The Complete Guide to Social Media for Events](http://www.socialmediaforevents.com)_.
