Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Aventri to create a registration website for a conference which doubled as a mobile app so members could get the most important information they needed to know without having to ask our staff questions. We wanted a clean and simple website with four pages, and we were able to update it with important information (especially COVID-related updates). Previously we used a completely different company to create an app for the event but decided to try Aventri for almost every aspect the past year.

Pros

  • Creates a clean and professional registration page
  • Easy for the client to use
  • Help was readily available

Cons

  • Registration on the backend was confusing
  • Sometimes the code would break and take a while to fix (adding images, extra text)
  • Not intuitive for users

Most Important Features

  • Ease of use for clients
  • Clean and professional looking website
  • Ability for several users to edit

Return on Investment

  • Positive - we are using it again this year
  • Positive - we can use the previous year as a template
  • Positive - Time saver and effective way to communicate with clients through the system

Cons

  • Abstracts module doesn't "talk" to registration module

  • Report functionality isn't always consistent

  • Abstracts
  • Eblasts

Return on Investment

Pros

  • User-friendly.
  • Mobile app syncs right from database, so no double work.

Cons

  • Mobile app does not allow for video advertisements.
  • The day the event is scheduled to be over in Aventri it clears from your list and it makes getting reporting and analytics difficult after the event is over.

Return on Investment

  • Smoother/quicker registration process for attendees.
  • Meal tracking at registration for better F&B estimates.

Pros

  • Manages class size limits very well.
  • Provides information for hotel booking and transfers so that all this information is in one record.
  • Unlimited number of pages for the website is invaluable - we looked at other programs with only 4 pages for the website and that just isn't enough for our clients.

Cons

  • The transition to the new platform has taken some time to get everything functional, but they are working on it and update us regularly.
  • Reporting has vastly improved!
  • eSeating uses Flash which doesn't work on iPads... this can be a problem.

Return on Investment

  • Helps us offer online registration immediately for new clients - this has helped us secure new business.
