Tip For Conferences

This app will definitely help take conferences to the next level. I can’t wait for the day that you can get rid of printed agendas and schedules. No longer to have to worry about last minute scheduling changes, misprints and spelling mistakes. All can be taken care of in a few seconds when you use a mobile and interactive app like DoubleDutch Flock.

The app is an award-winning interactive mobile app that engages attendees and provides them with event content. Attendees can read the sessions, check in and publish comments and participate in engaging and topical conversations with their peers at the conference. The Flock app is social and attendees can link the app to their Twitter and Facebook Accounts for more interactivity.

The app helps conference producers too. You can forget the printed materials, hardware, scanners etc. Most attendees come in using smart phones and/or tablets so downloading the Flock app either before the conference or during registration shouldn’t be a problem at all. And don’t forget the app will allow for branding pre, during and post event. So you can make sure your message is carried around with each and every attendee.

BENG!Buzz Tool Tip For Conferences

New BENG!Buzz Tool Tip: http://sched.org/

Why we like it:

We have done a few conferences this year, and with each one we think about how to make the user and attendee experience better. One piece that always seems complicated is the agenda. If your conference only has one or two moving parts you are OK. However, if you are producing a blow out conference with concurrent sessions, tracks and multiple locations you want to provide your guests with as much information as possible. 

Sched.Org is a program that can definitely help you. It allows producers of the conference an easy way to display event agenda and most importantly is fun and easy to navigate for attendees. Attendees can pick and choose how they want their agenda displayed based on their own preferences. You can access Social Media sites which makes it easy to personalize the agenda and also share and interact with coworkers and friends who are also attending. AND no, you don't need a laptop. Sched.org is available on mobile platforms.
