EventPilot Conference App for Medical Meetings and Scientific Events vs. Sherpany

EventPilot was well suited for what we used it for.

Sherpany helps us to retrieve information from previous meetings quickly. Participants for conferences can be contacted and their records can be viewed every time, wherever, and whether they are provided by the data they collect.

Incentivized

• Direct database integration
• Customer support
• Base plan has great features

Incentivized

• It makes preparation for a board meeting very easy.
• It allows us to easily retrieve data from earlier meetings.
• It helps me to keep track of important information.
• It avoids the need (and burden) to carry around paper binders.

• Suggestions or best practices
• Frequently asked questions
• That’s it, it’s pretty good

Incentivized

• Changes with new versions should be well communicated in advance and consider in more detail the impact on existing boardrooms
• Too expensive
• Generally, more possibilities for customizing e.g. it should be possible to define security levels for access individually (why do I have to retype my email every time I synchronize?) or it should be up to the users whether and how they want to use labels (why can I only have one label per document?)

Very intuitive design and easy to use for attendees navigating content and the venue.

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.

They're good when needed. Sherpany offers a much more efficient way of working

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

Much easier to annotate documents, better User Interface which makes it very easy to access material discussed in earlier Meetings; also very easy to navigate between different topics on the agenda.

• Increased event attendance 25%
• Attendance improved sale closings by 10%
• 90% usage within team for better time management

Incentivized

• The only negative thing I can see is that members can be victims of technostress and sometimes forget their password, how to find a document in a session. My role is to help them, reassure them and find a solution with them
• The positive is that all our members are often members of several committees at once and instead of receiving folders with a ton of documents, which are often cumbersome and heavy, everything is on the IPads. They can also annotate their documents as they want.
