EventPilot native app released for SOA’s Valuation Actuary Symposium

July 18, 2011 - PRLog -- ATIV Software today released the SOA VAS 2011 mobile conference app, built on the dynamic EventPilot platform, for the Valuation Actuary Symposium for professionals in financial and risk management. The conference app enables attendees to efficiently navigate all event information and streamlines event management through reducing printing and easing the flow of information.

“We use EventPilot at multiple events and find its utility boundless,” says  Kerri Leo, professional development manager for SOA. “We’ve been able to cut back on printing while bringing pertinent and current information directly to attendees fingertips. With the ability to build contact lists, take notes, and bookmark sessions, all event related information is retained in the app. It’s a great learning tool.”

EventPilot Plus apps are dynamic and interactive and improve the attendee experience in addition to easing event organization. Built as a true native app for iOS and Android, the app enables increased engagement regardless of available WiFi access at the venue. Event program changes are easily communicated via data updates to the conference app, thereby greatly reducing or eliminating printing.

“The unique experience for users is not only found in wealth of information available to them in the conference app, but also in the net-working opportunities built into the app. With continuous Twitter feeds, attendees can engage in the conversation and learn from each other” states Silke Fleischer, CEO and Co-Founder of ATIV Software.“With EventPilot, attendees can leave the paper notebooks and heavy guides behind, and still take the education home.”
