Engagement
Concise recommended our cloud-hosted Chime event app for attendees to access via their mobile devices. Attendees had the choice to download Chime from the App Store onto their mobile phones or use our web app by clicking the event's Chime url. The Concise team was on site to run a support desk and ensure everyone was able to log in.
Throughout the event, attendees made good use of Chime’s Ask a Question feature. Over the course of two days, 221 attendees logged in and asked 223 questions to speakers and panelists on the stage. Attendees were able to learn more about speakers, partners, and exhibitors through Chime's Speakers, Partners, and Showcase pages. Further reading and collateral materials were housed in the resource gallery and emailed by DIT to the attendees following the event.
