It would also be helpful to make it even more distinguishable between past events and current events. Also, the ability to slow down the banners would be great - maybe a few options like 5, 10, 15 seconds before switching. For example the ability to link to maps, social feed and additional app icons created. It would also be nice to be able to link to more things internally in the app. For example, if someone in the back end logs in under their personal email and not the email that we have on file, it creates two different users in the back end. I also wish that the socio app had the ability to add more than one email address to a specific person's profile. This was a severe issue, especially during the event, when people needed to download the app quickly and couldn't reset their password because they didn't have access to their email. I dislike the fact that I cant reset attendees' passwords for them in the backend of the app. Only one other conference platform was close to their level, but Socio was a better fit for us all around so we are moving forward with them for our conference next March. We were very impressed with the production quality they offered for our sessions and keynotes, and the networking opportunities they'd built into their platform. As the pandemic went on though, we made the decision to switch our 2021 conference to a virtual conference, so started the process of reviewing virtual conference platforms.Īfter looking at dozens of these, we finally came back to Socio and demoed their version. For our 2020 conference we again looked at dozens of competing conference apps, but in the end Socio remained the best fit for our specific needs.ĭue to Covid we ended up having to cancel our 2020 conference, and Socio was gracious enough to credit our purchase for use at our 2021 conference. Our attendees loved it, and while there were some hiccups on site with managing customer service and notifications not always being real time, we were overall very impressed. We first used Socio as a conference app at our conference in 2019, after selecting it from a list of 20+ options we'd tested. Originally a Conference App, and now a full Virtual Conference Platform
