Spotme Reinvents Itself and the Future of Meetings

New Spotme handheld redefines participant communication at events up to 5,000 people.

Lausanne, Switzerland (PRWEB) June 5, 2007 -- Shockfish SA, the creator of Spotme, a wireless communication service for meetings and events, today, announced that it will launch a new and improved Spotme service for the global meetings industry. The new Spotme will first be used at meetings in Europe, China, and Singapore this June.

The new service features state-of-the-art wireless handheld devices with an RFID card reader, positioning technology, color screen, keyboard, and a wireless microphone and speaker. "The new Spotme provides our clients the tools that they need to manage delegates, gather valuable data, and create interactive experiences" said Bänz Ledin, Founder and Managing Director of Shockfish SA. "We want to be the first choice for any meeting organizer that wants to create interactive events. Our new Spotme reflects that vision."

Spotme's new features make networking even easier. A full-text search works like your favorite search engine to quickly find participants relevant to you. You enter a few keywords in a text box and Spotme returns a list of participants that match those keywords. For those people that forget names, a new face search helps you browse the participant list by photograph. After you meet a person, you can enter notes into Spotme and those notes will be sent to you electronically with the person's business card and photo after the meeting.

In addition, the new Spotme is eco-friendly. The binder, maps, electronic feedback forms, and searchable photo database provide real-time information at your fingertips, while reducing the need to make costly printouts that are usually tossed out after the event.

Monitoring attendance in sessions and tracking educational credits has never been easier. The new Spotme combines positioning technology with RFID and an online reporting system to gather data on registrations, attendance, and feedback on sessions.

"Over the last two years, our team has worked with incredible enthusiasm and passion to bring the new Spotme to life. We've put all our learning into action. Now we are eagerly looking forward to the reaction of participants and organizers at our first events," said Mr. Ledin.

The new Spotme supports up to 5,000 meeting participants making it a viable solution for large meetings. To learn more contact Sam Smith at sam@shockfish.com or call +41 (0)21 693 85 15.
