Bring it alive, IT conference at your fingertips

Many of the delegates, exhibitors and co-organizers at an annual IT conference in Denmark signed up for mobile services that gave them the news, entertainment and other information they needed to get the biggest bang out of the conference.

The challenge

IT- & Telestyrelsen (The National IT and Telecom Agency) wanted to integrate a number of mobile services with its annual IT architecture conference that would support the conference purpose. The themes of the conference were defined as ”Less theory and more practice”, ”Professionalism and cases instead of marketing” and ”More networking than one way communication”.

The solution

MORE designed a wide range of mobile services for the conference. The purposes of these mobile services were to enhance information services to delegates, provide extra services to exhibitors and co-organizers, heighten the profile of IT- & Telestyrelsen and use the mobile technology for entertainment during the conference.

The mobile services consisted of an extensive mobile site (mobil.itst.dk), an sms news service, Bluetooth service, sms and Bluetooth competitions, QR codes and a physical mobile service desk. The mobile site contained, among others, a newsfeed providing the latest news at the conference and information about the program, speakers, delegates and IT- & Telestyrelsen.

The results

Some 900 delegates and 60 co-organizers from various companies within the field of IT attended the conference. The following results show the usage of the services during the two conference days:

  • 196 signed up for the sms service, and 12 service messages were sent out
  • In all 4,461 sms’s were sent out
  • The mobile site reached a total of 3,154 hits
  • 93 delegates participated in sms competitions
  • 220 transferred content via Bluetooth

The conference solution showed how information technology and specific mobile technology can be used to enrich and develop information technology and that mobile services is an inevitable part of information architecture today.
