Launched: CrowdVine for Conferences
We just launched our new product, CrowdVine for Conferences. Here’s the official announcement where I try to explain the product in layman terms.
We’ve done six conferences now through our professional services (that’s where we do everything from setup to community management): Web 2.0 Expo Berlin, MX East, Future of Web Apps / London, Foo Camp, Maker Faire Bay Area, SoCon.
And we’ve had people setup regular CrowdVine networks for BarCampBlock, IDEA 2007, Ignite Boston, and PodCamp Atlanta.
Our new CrowdVine for Conferences service is just making official something that we’ve known for awhile now: CrowdVine networks are a great replacement for the traditional printed attendee list. They let you put names to faces, find out real information about people, and then get in touch with the people you want to meet.
From a conference organizer perspective, more networking means a more valuable conference that attendees are more likely to return to. Plus we’re able to pull out information to help make the next conference even better, information like which topics were attendees most interested in, which speakers were most popular, and which attendees acted as connectors who made the conference better for everyone.
If you know conference organizers or you are conference organizer, please make an introduction.
