-Responsiveness of the Attendify staff via the chat window. They answered any questions I had pretty much instantly at any time of day. This was huge. -Features. I feel like I was limited more by my capacity to work on the app than the features that the app provided. -Ease of use. I am not a "tech" person but this platform is extremely easy to manage and actually kind of fun to use.

Drawbacks:

-Attendify staff encouraged me to password protect the app but I wish I hadn't. Not a huge deal.

I worked with Attendify on developing an event app for the Yale Environmental Sustainability Summit (YESS) during the fall of 2015. It was a three day conference that took place across campus with high profile speakers and a somewhat dynamic schedule (lots of breakout sessions and panels). The app was a huge success and I received several comments regarding its usefulness. The features I used predominantly was the schedule which had bios of speakers and panelists and also allowed me to enter hyperlinks to our livestream webpage of the speakers and panels. This was great because it allowed people to go back and link to recorded sessions that they missed through the app even after the conference. The map feature is very handy to highlight and provide info about different locations and you can also upload pdf maps of the interior of buildings for example. I would say the only part of the app I didn't use anywhere near its capability was the social platform. It seemed more likely to me that people would utilize twitter handles and Facebook groups rather than add an additional social networking platform devoted specifically to the event, however, had I promoted it more actively it may have been better utilized.

Hopin is very intuitive and when trying to convert a live in-person event to a live online event this is the platform that most matches functionality and hitting the objectives sponsors and exhibitors seek. Their development team is quite responsive to suggestions for further improvements...wouldn't even know whom to call at some of the competing platforms.

Our event development agency works with clients who need to replace in-person programs with online events, often quickly. The Hopin team has helped us figure out the work flow and the platform lends itself to setting up a demo and then the actual event very quickly. Attendees and exhibitors alike can figure out how to navigate in a couple of minutes - and that's the key to a successful event.

Benefits:

The software has a neat interface. The software is deductive and you cant get lost.

That the software couldn't manage the actual day of the event. Speakers and participants reported issues but no information or notification about the problem could be noticed. This was for 20% or so what is too much for a high-level event. This created a lot of stress for the participants and to us the organization.

They did not deliver what they promised. They told us that support would be available during our event and there was just this lousy email address. Also, we did test the software with speakers and companies that would speak this went without problems. On the day of the actual event, a lot of problems showed up. At the feedback session, they told us that there was an update rolled out a few days ago, which felt scripted. As we already saw the same excuse on a review site this probably is otherwise, they would announce an update. Hopin is an example of a too fast-growing company focused on making revenue.

The Hopin virtual platform is intuitive and easy to use. In my view, the platform offers an excellent internet communication platform that will continue to grow in popularity post-pandemic because its various features combine to create an interesting experience- whether in listening to key speakers or hopping into a booth for a company presentation, or even for one-on-one discussions.

Whilst it is my experience that the Hopin platform is excellent, I wonder whether more could be done to encourage or to teach users how to benefit more from the various features of the software.

I have enjoyed my experience of using the Hopin platform and I look forward to an online Symposium in July using this platform. I have used this software since booking my ticket for attendance early in the year. I have logged in to view, and to listen to speakers ahead of the main event. I have every confidence that this event will be excellent from a technical point of view, and that it will give me an experience as life-like as it could be short of an actual physical conference. The availability of the Hopin platform means that I can learn from countless experts in the natural resources business without having to fly from the UK to North America to attend a " physical" conference.

No video support. Each meeting creates a new link which can requires users joining the call to download and run an executable before they are allowed in.

Summary:

This was the legacy meeting tool in my prior company and allowed users in different physical locations to meet.
