With the high penetration of smartphones in the region, delegate are now able to use their own devices and have "Events in the Palm of their Hands" that are fully customised and professionally managed, they are loved by attendees and trusted by event planners around the world.

A mobile event app enables you to brows the agenda, provide text and voting feedback, take notes, download files, watch video's, connect with other attendees, view speaker bios, and add gamification, all within your own branded app.

Some of the rich features that attendees and organisations love include analytics you've only dreamt of, ability to make last minute changes, works on and off line and limitless sponsorship opportunities.

Our goal is to help event organizers of all types and sizes from small conferences and seminars to large festivals and tradeshows, easily transform traditional printed event-guides into interactive applications on smartphones. Satellite's team and advisory experience expands in all directions from cutting edge web & mobile development to extensive event management & technology solutions for the event industry.

At a recent conference held by OMD Media Group, a company known for deploying the latest technology at events engaged their audience members using a customised mobile app with great success.

Eric Mirabel, Head of Digital at OMD, commented, "By using the app we further engaged our attendees whilst increasing sponsorship visibility and reduced print budget. During the event one person tweeted OMD Predicts just keeps getting better, this app is excellent. As the upcoming generation of fully connected executives drive the industry it's a natural progression to utilise this kind of platform. Efficiency is key to an event organiser, with the mobile app, changes to the program can be instantly deployed and we especially enjoyed the audience feedback option where we received over 100 comments via the system."
