Overall Satisfaction with CrowdCompass

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our department uses CrowdCompass for all of our North America regional Professional Development events and our annual global conference. By having information readily available for participants on a very straightforward app, we're cutting our use of paper collateral in an effort to be more sustainable. We're also able to communicate with attendees in a more timely manner.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Push notifications provide fast dissemination of information.
Scheduling is straightforward and legible.
Compatible on at least 2 mobile operating systems and has a web view, perfect for everyone.

Cons

Invitation emails can be confusing
Re-sending invitation emails is a bit of a hassle
Layout could be better

Return on Investment

Cut printing costs
Provided greater sponsorship opportunities
Overall attendee satisfaction has gone up

Likelihood to Recommend

I find that CrowdCompass is well suited for events of 200-2,500 people. It doesn't make sense for smaller events from a financial standpoint (at least from our experience). We have not trialed it for events larger than 2,500 attendees, so we cannot speak to it from that sense. Also not fantastic with less technologically-literate participants.
