The goal
A single, Dartmouth-branded event app
to engage attendees of multiple conferences
Kulkarni and his team chose Attendify’s multi-event app. “There was lot of value compared to most other vendors,” Kulkarni said. His top reason for choosing Attendify was the outstanding features, especially the option to whitelabel the app and its self-service setup. Additionally, Kulkarni noted the multi-event payment structure was ideal for the organization since they’d pay for events as they occurred throughout the year.
Kulkarni needed an app with delightful simplicity for high adoption, and at the same time, a full and flexible feature set to support a variety of event types throughout the year. Branding was another major priority. They needed a whitelabeled, go-to Tuck School of Business app for every event held on campus.
“Great user interface, completely intuitive and really easy for conference participants to understand. All these features are what drew us to Attendify as a solution”
Engagement by the numbers:
- 968 Downloads
- 687 Attendees
- 27k Sessions
- 70% Adoption
The result
An app that enriches the event experience and simplifies logistics for Tuck conference organizers
One of the most-loved aspects of the app was the consistent branding. “That was what we were trying to go for — a unified experience for the Tuck School of Business. The consistent branding throughout made our conferences more professional. It’s one thing people have really, really appreciated. Another feature people enjoyed in the LinkedIn integration that provides background information directly on the platform,” said Kulkarni.
