Beginning with a website that details all the pertinent event information, to registration, on-site check in, event app, communication, and surveys, from soup to nuts it’s critical that you give your attendees, exhibitors, and sponsors tools that provide them with all the vital information they’ll need. With the increased development of web-based technology, now you can.
More and more planners are looking for “one-stop” solutions to make the logistical tasks of execution more manageable. In order to have a smart meeting, you’ll want to consider these:
Registration + Session Information
Even for smaller events (less than 500 attendees) everything from the event agenda, accommodation/hotel information, travel itineraries, session information, FAQ’s, and of course the event registration form, need to be accessible and available in real time from any device or portal.
On-Site Event App
All the data that is collected in the registration needs to be migrated to the event app tool to provide personalized agendas, interactive functions (polling, live Q&A, etc.), gamification options, exhibitor or education information, etc., and be accessible to any device online.
Post Event
Surveys, photos, video, should all be accessible through the same URL that was used for registration and on-site event app so the attendee doesn’t have learn a new one and the planner can gather all the relevant data in one place. If education credits are a feature, then management of credits and certification is a must.
