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.
