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.

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.

We use CrowdCompass as a way to interact with our clients throughout an event, from updated agenda to network, to providing information if we have an innovation pavilion of sponsor and kiosks, uploading digital collateral and marketing materials, and allowing users access to all of the best our event has to offer.

It is used by us as an organization and also by the event agency we use to manage some of our events. We use it for different things like having a delegate list, agenda, notifications, and maps. The event game is also great.

CrowdCompass is used by our marketing department. We use it for our annual internal sales meeting, and for external events where we host customers on our campus. We use it so that our customers have their agenda at their fingertips. We also utilize the push notifications so we can easily reach out to our customers.

We utilize CrowdCompass for our largest meetings to be a resource for our attendees, including programming, notifications, exhibit reference list, attendee list, etc. We also sync posts to a Social Wall, which tends to be popular with our attendees, since they can post and share and enjoy seeing it on a large screen. Overall, the app is user friendly and intuitive. There are a lot of tools that can be used and we plan push notifications with our marketing and IT teams. A good suggestion is to have a marketing /notification schedule prior to the event. Another opportunity to make revenue is to sell banner ads in the app; such as selling a banner to be displayed each day or rotate them depending on the number of sponsors/exhibitors.

My company - specifically the Events Team - uses the CrowdCompass mobile applications for three major events on an annual basis. I am responsible for the build, implementation, overall management and post-event data metrics for our apps and love using CrowdCompass to do so. We have utilized CrowdCompass more and more over the past five years and have grown our adoption rates so rapidly that we no longer print physical programs and have saved thousands of dollars as a result.

We use CrowdCompass as our event mobile app for 3-5 user conferences per year. Using the app allows us to reduce printing costs, provide real-time information to our attendees and it allows our attendees and sponsors to network and have fun!

CrowdCompass is used to provide a mobile app experience for attendees at some of our client-facing events. It allows a custom-branded experience for a fraction of the time and cost of having one designed from scratch

We use CrowdCompass as our primary mobile app platform. We use it solely in the events department for large conferences and events. the main problem that CrowdCompass solves for us is the ability to communicate with all 1000+ attendees at the same time, using push notifications, messages, it allows them to communicate with each other, network more efficiently, collect contact information, etc. It also allows us to be more environmentally conscious. We can put the conference floor plan, agenda, personal agenda, trade show floor plan, and other pertinent information right on the app instead of on paper.

We are in the travel incentive industry hence we are using CrowdCompass to serve our clients, we are a third party. It is only used by our department which is Group Travel. It addresses communication problems on site. Attendees can check their personalized schedules on site and also receive push notifications if something changes.

CrowdCompass is the Siemens AG (and its subdivisions like mine, Siemens PLM Software) preferred conference app. CrowdCompass offers both the functionality and the mission-critical security components we need. We can choose to make an event hidden and only allow account creation by a curated list of attendees. CrowdCompass includes dual-authentication account creation.

We have our own branded instance of CrowdCompass, called "Siemens Meetings and Conferences." All of our events are held within a consistent app platform. Downloading the app and loading of each event's info is easy and works across platforms with native OS versions and even an html5 browser-based version.

The functionality is excellent - general schedule, personalized schedules, built-in gamification, the ability to create custom content and the option to lock any/all of it to specific groups.

CrowdCompass is used by our Partnership Development & Events team for customer events. It is also used for larger internal meetings (National Sales Meeting, etc.). The use of CrowdCompass addresses our need to give our attendees a seamless travel and event experience and to be able to notify our attendees of any last minute changes to the agenda.

My company uses CrowdCompass for other 3rd party clients for their meetings and events as a way to get their agendas and other pertinent information to their attendees while attending the event. This product will hold their schedule for the week, along with meeting info such as the hospitality desk hours, handouts, exhibit hall information and much more. This product will also allow attendees to share their experience with others via social media and message new network connections as well while attending without having to collect many business cards.

We are a professional association that hosts an annual conference which provides continuing education credits to attendees. Before using Crowd Compass, we spent countless hours and paper producing conference materials like an attendee workbook, schedule of events, workshop descriptions and presenter bios. We have been using Crowd Compass for the past 5 years and have an 85% adoption rate. Not only do we, the conference producers, love this product, but so do our attendees. It’s been a game changer. We have saved tons of time and money using the event mobile app. It’s been the best investment ever!

We hold an annual conference of roughly 200 people from across the country and across the globe. The marketing department has all planning and execution responsibility, including logistics and communication of the event. The CrowdCompass mobile app helps us to communicate all things conference to our attendees, pre-, during, and post-event. Because our event is multi-day and multi-track, it's important to make it easy for attendees to determine which sessions they would like to attend, where to find them (interactive map), etc. In addition, it is important to promote our exhibitors and this app has several great features to promote exhibitors and sponsors.

We centrally support CrowdCompass for the University. It is available for any department or group who is hosting an event and who is willing to pay a reasonable event charge. It is entirely self-service. We spin up an event and grant people access. Then they configure the event.
It is primarily used by people with more complex or high profile events and acts as the 'schedule in the hand'. It adresses the need to minimize paper, provide notifications, and drive attendee engagement in the event.

6 years ago, we decided to go paperless for our Bi-Annual Customer User Conference. Since we already use Cvent as the registration site, we decided to give CrowdCompass a try. I love how easy it integrates with our system, keeps everything organized in one place... and can easily be customized to match the theme of the conference. I have personally been using it for the last 4 years, and it makes everything so simple between the mobile app and attendee check in!

We use the mobile app across our Higher Education and School Education group divisions of our organization in tandem with the Cvent Registration Tool. Ultimately, using CrowdCompass makes us more efficient as a small events management department -- this cuts down on a lot of manual content loading. This also allows us to communicate more effectively with our attendees if we are not onsite. We can pre-load canned notifications. By using Cvent and CrowdCompass we project a consistent branding, as well as give our attendees a more professional, well-executed event experience. They love the app!
