Event management industry is booming across Bangalore with more than 1500 small scale organizations to a number of 18 large scale event management organizations with approximately 38500 freelancers working directly in the event management domain in Bangalore. The outcome of this paper would give an insight towards developing the technology in order to tailor it to the needs of the event Marketers and enhance the visual experience of the attendees. Event marketers are aware of an existing technology called augmented reality but majority of the event marketers do not have the knowledge or the skill to create effective campaigns using AR. Marketers in the events industry have a perception that augmented reality creates more positive impressions compared to traditional marketing campaigns. There is an evidence of their attitude that traditional marketing campaigns should be given more importance than campaigns created using AR technology
