Superevent-The ultimate app to power all your events. IMEX Fresh Dinner App sponsor

Posted May 6th, 2013 by mireia.iglesias

We started Superevent because we noticed that meeting people and networking is increasingly becoming the main reason to attend professional events, while the content is the shared interest that connects us.

This got us thinking, because the networking tools that organizers provide are non-existent or basic at best.
When was the last time you got access to the attendee
list? Or did you not…

With Superevent we aim to provide the best tools to facilitate (professional) meetings and events, for all stakeholders.

Content is not Education by MidCourse Corrections

Posted April 2nd, 2013 by mireia.iglesias

Let’s get one thing straight: Content is not education!
If content was education, then all of us would be very knowledgeable because we have information at our fingertips through the internet.

But content is not education. Just as information and data is not education.

Offering Content Is Not Enough

People attend conferences for two primary reasons:

1. Education

2. Networking

App Aptitute: Choosing the Best App for your Conference or Event by Brad Neuman

Posted March 25th, 2013 by mireia.iglesias

Websites designed for mobile devices are popular ways to share information with attendees. However, understanding the differences between, native, web-based and hybrid mobile apps are essential in choosing the right technology for your event or conference.

A web app is an application accessed through a devices browser and is limited by the functionality of the mobile browser. In contrast, a native app is downloaded onto the device, loading all pages/documents when the app is installed thus eliminating the need for a network to view content.
