1. A brief overview / description of what your product or service is.


With the explosion of smartphone use, mobile devices are changing how attendees navigate events. Unlike a basic mobile accessible website, the team of ATIV Software has built EventPilot, a highly sophisticated mobile app that creates an exceptional event experience, increases excitement, generates revenue, and allows for greener events.

EventPilot not only replaces printed documents and enables true paperless events, it provides an interactive and personalized experience for attendees and helps organizers extend the conversation about the event.

  • Wow your audience with sophisticated WiFi independent app
  • Make attendees more efficient with customizable schedule, note taking, and instant trip report
  • Simplify networking with cutting edge contact sharing technology
  • Save money and reduce CO2 footprint by going paperless and include searchable medical abstracts, PDFs, PowerPoint presentations
  • Create buzz by social networking sharing options
  • Generate revenue with in-app sponsorship opportunities
  • Brand the app to the specific event
  • Plan the event stress-free with real-time updates

2. How your product / service will meet customer's requirements, fulfil a need or solve a problem.

"EventPilot helps take events to a new level that engages attendees and eases planning for conference organizers. True paperless events are possible via the integration of presentations, handouts, note taking, surveys, and more. All content is easily updatable in real-time and reduces paper-waste while decreasing the event environmental footprint. Going paperless saves printing, shipping, distribution, and handling cost while offering new interactive ad opportunities to generate revenue through sponsorships.

Attendees at the same time experience a media rich event brochure with networking and social media features as well as numerous time saving features and real-time messages from organizers to stay up-to-date. The additional PR, public awareness and buzz increase event visibility."
 


3. What is unique or innovative about your product?

"The app is designed to provide exceptional value to attendees and organizers alike.
Unique and innovative functionality not only provides a mobile interactive event program, but a real-time communication, social networking, and reference tool. Innovations in EventPilot:

 

  • Offline access to the event program to avoid attendee frustration with venue’s slow or spotty Internet connection or reception. Allows event organizers to skip the cost of offering WiFi.
  • PowerPoint slides with slide note taking to turn the event program into a reference guide valuable long after the event.
  • Presentation slide tweeting to enhance buzz around the event and share important content with the community.
  • Built-in trip reporting to save attendees additional time.
  • QR/Bump technology integration to share contacts with or without wifi.
  • Offline content access and 24/7 updating plus alert messages to make organizer's lives easier.
  • Schedule synchronization so attendees can save time if they have already planned their sessions during online registration."
     

4. What impact does your product have, or aim to have, on meeting professionals and the meetings/events industry?

"The EventPilot platform is designed with the needs of both organizers and attendees in mind. While attendees receive a powerful interactive communication and performance tool, the overall impact reaches beyond. Meeting professionals can save a tremendous amount of time, effort, and cost by creating paperless events.

The app with its powerful content organization options and unique presentation slide viewer relieves organizers from designing, printing, shipping, and distributing content. All program changes are easily updateable. The app has already saved organizers hundreds of thousands of Dollars in printing cost as well as avoiding excessive venue WiFi fees.

The app also offers new opportunities for sponsors where, for the first time, they can offer trackable ads instead of merely logos on banners or totebags. "
 


5. Please provide an outline of the product/service development so far, and how successful this has been:


"ATIV Software has published dozens of apps for events ranging from 300 to nearly 30,000 attendees, for internal and public events in all industries. The apps have been very successful with attendees tweeting comments such as:

  • It totally ROCKS!
  • this app is perfect - like! ICSF
  • iPad app for this conference is AWESOME! Does everything I need and then some. MLearnCon
  • Love the app feature that tells you where you need to be

One event organizer realized over 6,000 downloads and over 3,000 clickthroughs to special organizer messages.

The NNS symposium calculated a CO2 reduction for its 667 attendee event of over 4,000lbs.

”I’ve felt for some time we spent way too much money on materials, paper handouts, that sort of stuff. We estimate we would save $50,000 this year alone on printing cost.“
