CrowdCompass is a versatile app that is widely used by event attendees to access schedules, event information, and communicate with organizers. Users have reported that the app offers a unique and interactive experience, making networking more enjoyable at events. The advanced functionalities and mission-critical security components of CrowdCompass have made it a preferred choice for Siemens AG and its subdivisions. One of the key benefits of the app is its ability to easily download and load event information across various platforms, making it convenient for users.

The use cases of CrowdCompass are extensive, ranging from regional to global events. It provides valuable information on schedules, sessions, handouts, event communications, and even social media engagement. The app supports gamification features, custom content creation, and personalized schedules for specific groups. This has proven to be particularly useful for small events management departments, as it enhances their efficiency and enables effective communication with attendees.

CrowdCompass has addressed several common problems faced by event organizers. Its ability to eliminate the need for printing handouts not only helps reduce costs but also promotes environmental consciousness. Additionally, the app generates additional revenue through banner ad sales while providing trackable attendee engagement data. For large conferences and events in the travel incentive industry, CrowdCompass has successfully tackled on-site communication challenges by offering personalized schedules and push notifications.

Integration with Cvent SMM has been a significant advantage for many users, as it saves time and provides real-time updates and changes during events. The software seamlessly integrates with other registration sites as well, making it simpler for organizers to provide a better experience for attendees. Furthermore, CrowdCompass serves as the main source of event information for annual user meetings and conferences, eliminating the need for printed materials.

Overall, users appreciate the value that CrowdCompass brings to their events by providing a clean and usable mobile app experience for any size event. Its features such as delegate lists, agendas, notifications, and maps have proven to be highly valuable for managing events and providing information to attendees. Push notifications are particularly appreciated as they enable timely updates and important announcements during events. While there may be room for improvement in terms of the app's interface, users express overall satisfaction with CrowdCompass and its contribution to enhancing the event experience.

Based on user reviews, the most common recommendations for CrowdCompass are to customize the app to meet specific needs, consider integration with Cvent for seamless registration and unique content, and explore alternative vendors for additional features.

Users highly advise becoming familiar with CrowdCompass settings and taking the time to learn all of its features. They recommend customizing the app to meet specific event requirements and being patient during the initial setup.

For events that integrate with Cvent registration and require tailored content, users highly recommend using CrowdCompass. They also suggest using CrowdCompass for events that don't need frequent changes in Cvent. Easy integration with Cvent and GDPR compliance are prioritized.

While users appreciate CrowdCompass for its event engagement, connectivity, and cost-saving benefits, some suggest exploring alternatives that offer more gamification and connection options. They encourage comparing CrowdCompass with other event smartphone/tablet apps and considering data export requirements.

In summary, users recommend trying CrowdCompass for instant communication, meeting evaluation/surveys, event engagement, connectivity, cost-saving benefits, and organizing large corporate events. They highlight the importance of customization, integration with Cvent, and considering alternative vendors if specific features are needed.

I am being contracted to build more and more apps throughout both Higher Education and various companies for both larger commencements, orientations to smaller internal meetings. So far it has reduced a majority of the email communication, as well as printing cost and any last minute changes!

My company used CrowdCompass for our big annual event. The app was available to all attendees and people who registered for the event. We utilized the app for people to register for sessions, communicate with one another, to post important information, and upload the property and conference space maps. Almost everyone who attended used the app and loved it!

We use the CrowdCompass Mobile App for our two largest events each year. Since we started using the app, we no longer print handouts for individual sessions, we have additional revenue from banner ad sales, and we have trackable attendee engagement data, which makes reporting to our stakeholders so much easier.

Currently we use CrowdCompass for our regional events in North and South America (150 - 650 attendees) as well as our 3 annual global conferences (1500-3000 attendees) as a hub for information on our schedules, sessions and handouts, event communications, and as a social media hub. Additionally, we utilize gamification and banner ad sells to improve the outreach of out exhibitors and sponsors as well as bring in additional revenue. Finally, we regularly host popular giveaways for our users at our events using the scavenger hunt.

My company uses CrowdCompass for our annual company client conference. We use it in lieu of an agenda booklet and it goes above and beyond just replacing that. It allows us to be interactive with our attendees, gathers feedback from them on sessions and events, notifies them directly of event changes, connects them with other attendees, and so much more.

CrowdCompass is being used by our event teams across all divisions (5 total) of the company. CrowdCompass is used for both internal and external attendee events which include training session, hospitality events, and information sessions. We are trying to implement more green initiatives and this one one way to reduce needing printed materials on site.

Since it is a Cvent product, any event setup in Cvent can be integrated into CrowdCompass so you can have a full featured app almost completely built without having to do the same work you already did to set the event up originally. Additional customization and options are available to tailor the app experience so it is unique and more useful as a tool for attendees. The best part of it to me is the Map feature where a diagram of the event location can be uploaded and then any area on the map can be pinpointed and associated with other content throughout the app. This means precise locations can be easily pointed out and found by anyone using the feature and it is invaluable for events where there are a lot of different specific spaces. Registration, session rooms, exhibitor booths, meals and breaks can all be pinned and found directly on the map or from their own detail pages.

We are currently using CrowdCompass as a TMC. We create apps for the events our client's host. We customize the app to have the same look and feel like the registration site.

We use it for our yearly Customer Conference. It is an amazing resource at the conference. It holds all of our information for our staff, such as schedules, alerts for meetings, maps, and program agendas. For our attendees, they are able to connect with each other and vendors, check their schedules, ask live Q&A, post pictures, and play our game. Our exhibitors use it to secure meetings with our attendees.

For us, CrowdCompass is used as the event app for our annual conference only. We do not currently use it for any other events as they are much smaller - however, I look forward to one day using the app to be a branded container for all of our events.

The CrowdCompass app allows us to integrate the entirety of a program into someone's phone - offering a quick review of all the session offerings as well as additional background information that was not/will not be printed. We have been able to send out special information for specific registration types as well, allowing for personalized communication through a generic app.

We use CrowdCompass for our internal annual conference. It is used by all attendees, and it addresses the need for improved communication during a large event and helps reduce printing costs. In addition, having an event app provides attendees with a unique, interactive experience that is fun, engaging and perfect for networking.

Trying to incorporate it into our event both pre-event to drum up excitement, on-site to enhance the attendee experience as well as communicate important and often urgent messages to all attendees. Used by the Event Team within the marketing department. Addresses the issue of needing to streamline the event experience on-site.

We use CrowdCompass to augment our event experience. We no longer have to print out programs (which are outdated the minute we send them to the printer due to changes). We can also interact with our attendees with games, and get photos that we can use for marketing during and after the event.

It is being used in our Group Travel department mostly for incentive trips but also for a few meetings/trade shows. It helps us get all of the information into the hands of our attendees without giving them lots of paper. It also allows us to provide up to the minute updates to the attendees should there be any schedule changes.

Our company uses CrowdCompass as the meeting event app for programs we manage. We also help clients with managing and learning to use their CrowdCompass account. Instead of having paper material handed out during an event, we use the app to relay all necessary information, including agendas and travel information. CrowdCompass is managed by our app team, but content is given by the planning team, and attendees are the real users.
