For the second consecutive year, Flock Eventing Platform kept the South African Investment Conference (SAIC) delegates informed and engaged with its mobile phone app for the event.
SAIC 2019 attracted 1 500 delegates from across the globe for the three day conference, from 5 to 7 November, at the Sandton Convention Centre. The app provided all of the information needed for a seamless conference experience, including the programme, speaker biographies, delegate and sponsor lists, partner and exhibitor lists, investment case studies, media releases, and live feeds of the conference and exhibition activities.
Additionally, delegates could plan their trip using the app, from finding nearby hotels, to locating the best shuttle services to get them to and from their destination, as well as information about Johannesburg should they want to explore the city further.
“As a home-grown company, we are exceptionally proud to work with the organisers, and thrilled to prove – once again – that our technology is both robust and flexible, the ideal choice for event organisers regardless of size.” – Mike Lysko
Flock’s founder, Mike Lysko (pictured left with Trevor Manual), believes that by making all of the features of the event easily accessible, the app technology contributed to the success of SAIC 2019 – which this year saw R363-billion pledged for investment funding.
Lysko added, “As a home-grown company, we are exceptionally proud to work with the organisers, and thrilled to prove – once again – that our technology is both robust and flexible, the ideal choice for event organisers regardless of size.
“The live Q&A functionality was particularly popular and no doubt contributed to the high user engagement levels and over 41 000 views on various devices that were experienced,” he said.
