A fellow missions CEO wrote yesterday to ask which conference app is worth the money. He has around 250 workers coming in for a one-week conference. But the best price he can find on an app that would encourage engagement (and push messages, make handouts available, allow workers to set up their schedules, meet other attendees, etc) is $1500. Ouch. That seemed like a lot for a 4-day conference. Which app would you recommend? We told him about https://eventpedia.com/ and https://www.cvent.com/en/event-management-software/cvent-pricing, as well as just using a GoogleDoc or a MS365 doc in someone’s Drive. But still… he wonders. Can you help? What have you found works best for the money? If so please click comment below. Thank you!
There is one that the WEA used at their meeting in Turkey last Oct. It is called Commissioned. It adds an element of posting options, and even now, I can look it up and see what has been posted there from the event and/or during (or after I think). Of course, the n# of users is pretty small, but I assume when more events use it, it will get more traction.
They made a point to say that the # of lines of code was really small, compared to FB (no surprise…I wasn’t sure what the point was, since space issues and speed issues really aren’t a concern for most of us in most places.
I heard that Lausanne was going to use something new too??
BAND App is free and has lots of bells and whisltes
I used Whova at a conference and it was intuitive to use.
Check out Yapp (yapp.us) The basic plan that would work for one conference is only $399.
