Mobile-first event technology, from registration, to check-in, plus event app to surveys, audience engagement and more

IMEX AMERICA 2013 EXHIBITION, LAS VEGAS, Nevada and TORONTO, ON, Canada – October 15, 2013 – EventMobi, an innovator in mobile conference apps and event technology, today announced the launch of Fusion 2.0, a major update to the event app that’s currently supporting over 3,000 clients worldwide.

With so many powerful technology tools available to clients, the challenge has been integrating these into a seamless mobile experience for attendees.  Fusion 2.0 expands the feature set beyond EventMobi’s popular event app by incorporating attendee registration & check-in, event participant communication tools, audience response and real-time polling and surveys, plus the power of event gamification, connecting everything into one seamlessly integrated platform.  This end-to-end, fully mobile experience allows event organizers to offer a 100% mobile event, from start to finish.

According to statistics from Microsoft, mobile browsing is set to overtake desktop Internet access by 2014.  The percentage is already higher for smartphone users and increases exponentially for those away from their daily routines and offices at a meeting or event.  Facilitating an optimized mobile experience for every stage in the event life cycle has become mission critical for organizers who wish to increase registrations, bring efficiency to event management and engage attendees during the entire event cycle.

“Fusion 2.0 engages participants on the mobile platform from the launch of registration for your event,” said Bob Vaez, CEO of EventMobi.  “Previously, mobile came into play when the participants were preparing to attend the event — just a few weeks beforehand.  With Fusion 2.0, the mobile experience starts with registration and continues seamlessly through check-in, the execution of the event, and then post-event follow up.  This brings unmatched efficiency to the organizers, and increases adoption of mobile participation by many more event attendees for the event overall.”

The Fusion 2.0 mobile platform for events features the following components:

Event Registration & Check-In – Event participants can open an email or social invitation and register directly from any device and are instantly included in the mobile event app across the remainder of that event.  No list upload is necessary, so all attendees are “in the system” and ready for event check-in.

Event App – EventMobi’s event app includes the agenda, speakers & session profiles, maps & location information, social media tools and rich participant profiles, among other features, so that attendees are well-prepared for their onsite experience.

Communication & Notification – EventMobi’s Fusion 2.0 incorporates the ability for participants to opt-in to a private social network and chat with other event participants.  Event organizers may also leverage the Mobile “Help Desk” and to push notifications and reminders to keep participants up to date.

Audience Response & Engagement – Surveys and evaluations, polls and live results, and custom-tailored gamification keep participants involved and engaged throughout the event.

Fusion Technology – Provides the broadest accessibility to all mobile and desktop platforms without the need or expense of creating and promoting a separate conference app for each version.  Unique to EventMobi Fusion 2.0 is the fact that there are no downloads to wait for and no ‘Update Now’ pop ups thanks to EventMobi’s unique on-the-fly updates.  Faster, easier access leads to higher usage and a more streamlined, cross-platform experience for attendees.

“The latest upgrade to EventMobi’s mobile app is an excellent enhancement to an already awesome platform,” said Lars DeSalvio, Director Information Technology & Web Services for the Tax Executives Institute, Inc.  “The ability to customize a responsive user interface using industry-standard technology will insure EventMobi’s leadership in the mobile event marketplace.”

Fusion 2.0 will be introduced at 3:00pm PST on October 15, 2013 at IMEX America 2013, booth #3456.  For further information, visit http://www.eventmobi.com/product/eventmobi-fusion
