EventPilot Meeting Platform vs. Guidebook

EventPilot was well suited for what we used it for.

Most of our meetings are too small to bother using it but it is great for our larger workshops. If you have a complex schedule or agenda it is better than a paper agenda and allows you to adjust changes live in the agenda during the meetings. We only use it a few times a year because we only have a few larger meetings.

• Sometimes we have had issues with it not updating our changes very quickly and while at a conference that can be problematic.
• I have had difficulty making edits or changes from the mobile app so I have to go grab the computer to fix something.
• Some attendees have had issues downloading and logging in depending on which mobile phones that they are using. It may be operator error.

Our support team including Mike Fenn has been excellent. On multiple occasions he and Ed Zawadzki have gone above and beyond to support us with very quick response times. They both are very knowledgeable of the platform and if I were to recommend EventPilot to another association I would explicitly mention the great support I received.

We had customized apps developed in the past but none worked as seamlessly as EventPilot Conference Technologies does.

We use both but for completely different reasons. We use Guidebook to manage our attendees and communicate with them during large workshops. We use Airtable as a spreadsheet type database for tracking things.
