Overall Satisfaction with CrowdCompass
We use Crowd Compass as the event app for our Annual Conference. Our conference serves over 3000 architects annually. We offer over 100 sessions, 30+ tours, and many events and networking opportunities as well as an interactive exhibit hall full of engaging activities and 350 exhibitors and sponsors. The Crowd Compass app allows us to showcase all of these items in one simple place. We are able to monetize the design of the app by selling banner ads, splash screens, gamification items, and map pins to our sponsors and exhibitors. Our speakers are well showcased with their photos and bios. It's so easy to view their schedule if you are looking to catch a certain person during our 3-day event. The exhibit hall is easily mapped out and each exhibitor can upload information for their potential buyers to easily find them on the show floor. Push notifications might actually be our favorite feature. From sending out "The keynote speaker will start in 5 minutes in Ballroom 1" to "A yellow notebook and water bottle have been handed in at registration, collect if it's yours!" This is a game-changer for us! We can also sell notifications to sponsors! Our attendees love the app!
- The customizable exhibitor & speaker profiles.
- Mapping/locations.
- Push notifications.
- User friendly: both internal (creating app) & external (using it).
- Looks sleek.
- Last year, the gamification did not allow much customization, which was a shame. I hope that by the time I am ready to build my 2020 app, this function has been expanded
- The app to upload/edit push notifications was only available on iPhone so I had to have another team member handle that seems I have an android phone.
- Emails (invites, etc.) often go to junk.
- It's had a positive impact financially because it integrates with Cvent.
- It's a much quicker process to build and design, saving staff hours of work.
- Unlike our old app system, we have more control over the content of this app. We can make our own edits and additions without depending on external people to make those for us.
I don't recall the platform we used before Crowd Compass—some small startup I believe. I've not reviewed any other platform.
