The ConfInfo system facilitates organisation, management and post-evaluation of all aspects of large-scale conferences. The style of public projectors and mobile applications included in the system can be customised to fit in with the image of the company and the conference. These devices supply updated information and changes to the participants.
The most ready media for content sharing by mobile telephony are the smartphones in everyone’s pocket. The attendees can use them to obtain information about the conference pro- grammes, presenters, venues, and changes. The programmes of a conference are published days in advance, but in practice there are often delays, modifications, and changes. A key function of the ConfInfo system is to immediately supply information to attendees about changes in the published programmes via several channels. With the mobile applications conference participants can mark the presentations important for them to plan their own schedule. The application takes these planned programmes into account when sending notices, so the participants will not miss the events important for them.
In addition to key updated information, the public projectors installed at the event venue supply fast guidance and sponsors’ advertisements to the public. With these devices participants can be addressed directly and efficiently. Projectors can be controlled individually and in groups.
A conference can be made more sophisticated by playing videos. In addition to certain promo videos even sponsor activities can be transmitted directly to the participants. The organisers can send videos to each projector from the web interface, additionally YouTube videos can also be embedded. Launching of a video can also be timed for a given time or event (planned start of the presentation, planned end of the presentation, coffee break).
The event organisers can easily enter the conference presentations, programme schedule, presenters, accommodations, sponsors, questionnaires on a dedicated web administration interface. This interface enables easy control of all public projectors installed, the changes and public information entered here immediately reach the native phone applications and projectors.
Interesting issues generate interesting questions. Often the most perceptive questions concerning a presentation are raised by members of the audience. With the applications of the ConfInfo system the audience can at any time ask questions directly from the presenter.
The organiser can compile questionnaires concerning both the conference and individual presentations. The summary of the answers received can be viewed and evaluated on the web interface, and major business opportunities may lie in the results.
Whether you need conference breakdown by days, rooms or presenters, ConfInfo offers a solution for each option without depth limits.
