Part Three

Each week, we delve into the realm of artificial intelligence, posing one burning question to three prominent AI programs about the dynamic event industry and having our in-house experts at TPNI evaluate their responses.  
We’ve asked three prominent AI programs—ChatGPT by Open AI, Bard from Google, and Bing’s Co-Pilot—our question for this week: 


There’s no single “best” way to integrate mobile solutions into an onsite conference, as the ideal approach depends on your specific goals, audience, and event format. However, here are some key aspects to consider for successful integration:

Essential Mobile Solutions:

  • Event App: A well-designed app acts as the hub for your conference, providing attendees with information like schedules, speaker bios, maps, session resources, and networking tools. Look for features like:
    • Personalized agenda: Allow attendees to build their own schedules based on interests.
    • Push notifications: Send updates, reminders, and engagement prompts.
    • Live polling and Q&A: Encourage audience participation during sessions.
    • Networking directory: Facilitate connections between attendees with similar interests.
    • Feedback surveys: Gather valuable insights for future events.
  • Onsite registration and check-in: Streamline these processes with QR code scans, contactless badges, and mobile payment options.
  • Digital content access: Share presentations, handouts, and recordings through the app or a dedicated platform.

Beyond the Essentials:

  • Interactive features: Gamify the experience with points, challenges, and leaderboards. Offer virtual photo booths or AR experiences for added fun.
  • Social media integration: Encourage participants to share their experiences and reach a wider audience.
  • Hybrid elements: Integrate live-streaming or virtual Q&A sessions to connect with remote attendees.
  • Data analytics: Utilize app data to understand attendee behavior, engagement levels, and areas for improvement.

Tips for Success:

  • Prioritize user experience: Design the app to be intuitive, user-friendly, and accessible across different devices.
  • Promote the app: Encourage attendees to download and use the app through pre-event communication and onsite reminders.
  • Provide support: Have dedicated staff available to help attendees with app issues and navigation.
  • Gather feedback: Actively solicit feedback from attendees to refine your mobile strategy for future events.

Remember, the best mobile solutions are those that seamlessly enhance the physical experience and add value for your attendees.

By carefully considering your needs and audience, you can integrate mobile technology in a way that makes your onsite conference truly engaging and memorable.
