The beacons features sounded like it was helping attendees locate themselves relative to the beacons or room. Is it also allowing persons to locate other persons?

If so could one go invisible?

Thanks for this, the Beacons feature looks interesting and I would think useful to see where your fellow attendees are for what sessions

Hello to all:

As mentioned during my intervention at ICANN57, ARIN uses CrowdCompass and it's APP which I found very user-friendly and versatile.

At goo.gl/TZ1QBA another company does a comparison of different apps for events.  But, my experience with CrowdCompass (http://www.crowdcompass.com/) was very good. Had it available on my iPhone and iPad and it worked flawlessly.

A list of its main features is available at - http://www.crowdcompass.com/app-features/

• Activity Feed was excellent - Feed is a personalized stream tailored to each individual based on the attendee's interactions with the app.
• Beacons - When an attendee is near a beacon, relevant notifications appear on their phone. (worked very well)
• Personalized Schedule Integration - had all my sessions scheduled with detail information on speaker/s, location, etc.
  
• Interactive Maps - could see and know exactly where I was heading.
• Attendee messaging - could chat with other participants within app. I was able to chat with other participants and in some cases, even though my "mentor" was not near I could send a message and receive the response, almost immediately.
• Social networks and sharing - from within the app I could share photo comments, etc. with my social network groups.
• Hashtag - could use a hashtag and all subscribed could see or read content shared.
• Session materials/presentations - could have access to materials as sessions occurred.

I have not been able to use the ICANN app to compare. However, my experience with CrowdCompass was positive.

I strongly recommend contacting CrowdCompass (http://www.crowdcompass.com/custom-demo-request.shtml) for a Demo. Also, contact Mark Kosters, Chief Technology Officer at ARIN to have an idea of the project management of implementing the tool for events and any concerns or pitfalls.

Hope this helps for further consideration.
