Trade show organizers are frequently looking for ways to facilitate networking between their attendees and exhibitors and promote a dynamic show floor.
This usually means trying to marry social media and matchmaking platforms provided by outside vendors with their existing registration system, requiring a great deal of time and effort to produce a cohesive application.
CompuSystems, Inc. (CSI) announced the debut of ConnectME Advantage, a suite of products designed to connect attendees to exhibitors, that's fully integrated with their premier registration system.
Consisting of a central, automated attendee/exhibitor matching application available on their user-friendly registration dashboards — as well as their mobile apps — the system is designed to build a community around an event and take the guesswork out of networking for registrants.
ConnectME Advantage brings everything an organizer needs to connect their registrants to each other, and the show, under one roof.
Attendee/Exhibitor Matching
Automated functionality matches attendees to exhibitors based upon registration demographic information. Attendees can send meeting requests to exhibitors, and exhibitors can accept requests or schedule new meeting times.
Attendees can also search for exhibitors by name or product category, expanding their list of exhibitor matches. Easy to set up and fully integrated with CSI's registration system, it's now a cinch to ensure registrants meet with the right people at a show.
ConnectME Dashboards
Available on both the attendee and exhibitor registration websites, CSI's dashboards provide registrants with a simple and efficient way to organize their matches and appointments and build their show agenda, as well as manage a variety of critical show responsibilities from one central location.
Exhibitors can also select an option to upload electronic literature, making it available to their attendee matches.
Mobile Apps
Attendee and Exhibitor apps for smartphones and tablets ensure registrants can view and manage their matches and complete agenda on-the-go, as well as have a complete show guide for making the most of their time at an event.
Provided at no cost to CSI's registration clients, ConnectME Advantage also removes the need for a lengthy and complex third-party integration process.
With a minimal amount of start-up effort, an organizer can add value to their show and increase their registrant ROI. CompuSystems plans on showcasing the complete ConnectME Advantage system at Expo! Expo!, IAEE's Annual Meeting and Exhibition, December 7th, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
