Predicted End Times for concerts and performing arts events
Predicted End Times are an added intelligence feature to our event data that are used to create an accurate picture of when events are expected to end. This enables a variety of businesses, including rideshare companies and even restaurants that have locations near venues to understand when demand may pick back up at the end of an event. We’ve had this feature for our sports event category but given the positive customer feedback, we have extended this feature to include our concerts and performing arts event categories – which operators in various industries can use to predict how demand will change just after an event. Learn more about Predicted End Times for concerts and performing arts events and how businesses are leveraging this intelligence feature.
PHQ Labels: More relevant and representative event labels
We've updated our label generation methods using newer classification and large language models (LLMs) to make event labels more useful and relevant. This means you’ll be able to further filter our events to only see events that impact your specific demand. This update impacts 6 different business and leisure event categories. Learn more about PHQ labels.
Use Polygons to get non-attended events into your data lake
Polygons are now available for our public holidays and observances event categories – making it faster and easier to get non-attended events into your data lake. Learn more about Polygon support for more event categories.
Beam Category Importance: Find out which types of events impact your business the most
Events have a varied impact on different business locations. Use our new category importance feature to identify the types of events that impact your demand most, which your team can then use to power data-driven decision making around staffing, inventory, and more. Learn more about Beam Category Importance.
