Boston, MA – February 18, 2014 - Attendware, the innovator of event management software solutions, today announced Dalhousie University has completed the initial implementation of Attendware, an online software solution that helps event organizers produce successful events by simplifying and automating event registration, check-in and attendee management. Dalhousie is using the solution to manage events as part of their alumni engagement strategy. The use of the platform is helping support event attendance growth of 40% annually.
"Attendware's ease of use has made the alumni experience top-notch, which is essential to create a great event, success is all in the details," said Mike Perry, Director of Alumni Engagement for Dalhousie University. "Prior to implementing Attendware we relied on manual methods for all aspects of event management ranging from registration, attendee management and analyzing post event data. For our smaller events this could take a day and for our larger events this could take days or weeks. The solution allows us to manage every aspect during the event and quickly compile data to ensure we are continuing to improve attendee experience."
Dalhousie University plans to expand the use of Attendware for more than 200 events in various regions. The primary features include:
"Dalhousie is a great example of how attendee intelligence can add value during the event," said John Donnelly III, Chief Revenue Officer at Attendware. "Dalhousie uses the real-time intelligence during events to send text alerts that notify them when award recipients and other individuals of interest check in at an event. This ability helps to ensure the highest level of attention is paid to VIPs."
