“Our conference program is extremely complex with more than 2,000 technical presentations, 100 plus Short Courses, Conferee Networking Sessions, and nearly 900 exhibitors. We needed a mobile event app that meets our requirements while providing our attendees a practical, fast, and convenient way to build an agenda and to connect with the latest Pittcon information.” said Pittcon’s Senior Marketing & Communications Specialist, Marian Nardozzi. “EventPilot was the best conference app we found since its design is very intuitive even for complex programs like ours. It’s extremely fast to use despite our massive data sets, and as an added feature, the app runs offline.”


The EventPilot mobile conference app is designed as a Swiss Army Knife for meeting goers. The many interactive features provide the attending scientists instant access to necessary information in a convenient format. The ability to brand and include advertisements enables Pittcon to offer attractive new sponsorship opportunities such as the inclusion of company brochures in exhibitor listings.

With Pittcon, the launch of the new EventPilot version 5.0 is a milestone for scientific meeting apps serving large conferences with sophisticated educational programs.
