Social Media Mentions (Event Hashtag)
Quantifies superficial online chatter, mistaking noise for genuine engagement or brand loyalty.

Meaningless data points like 'poll participation' used to justify the budget spent on 'experiences'.
Virtual Breakout Rooms
Digital purgatories designed to force 'networking' and make attendees feel less alone in their misery.
Post-Event Surveys
Performative feedback loops that generate more data than actionable insights, primarily for self-preservation.
