Attending a conference that doesn’t use EventVue?
I recently attended the Google IO conference in San Francisco. There were some great sessions, but that’s not why I was there — I was there for the 2999 other developers!
I’ve been to a lot of conferences in the past year, but most of them have been EventVue customers. It was a strange experience for me to attend a conference that didn’t use our product. I think it was healthy for me to feel the pain of going to a conference without EventVue. There is nothing more frustrating than knowing there are people in the building you want to meet and having no way to find or connect with them!
Everyone who has attended a conference before can probably relate to my pain. In fact, we get emails all the time that say:
“I don’t want to attend another conference that doesn’t use EventVue.”
We want to do everything we can to make EventVue available at the conferences you love. We’ve now made it easier for you to tell us which conferences should be using EventVue. Simply look for the link on our homepage or inside any EventVue community. We’ll take your suggestions and do everything we can to win them as EventVue customers.
To be fair, we can’t take credit for the idea. Bill Flagg from RegOnline gave us the original inspiration for this feature:
My experience at Google IO reminded me that what we are doing really matters. I came back to Boulder more passionate about our work, and more excited for the day when EventVue is a standard part of every conference experience (including you, Google).
