DoubleDutch’s Mobile Event Technology Selected by Meeting Professionals International
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 14, 2016 -- DoubleDutch, the global leading provider of mobile event apps and event performance analytics, today announced that Meeting Professionals International (MPI) will use its platform to power the mobile app for five editions of its signature conferences – World Education Congress (WEC) and European Meetings and Events Conference (EMEC) – over the next three years. Through the DoubleDutch platform, the MPI global community will have access to the full suite of mobile event capabilities.
“We couldn’t be more excited about our collaboration with a renowned events association such as MPI,” says Lawrence Coburn, CEO of DoubleDutch. “We look forward to helping MPI deliver apps that provide a world-class event experience. Additionally, we’re excited about gaining exposure to and learning from MPI’s vibrant global community of meeting and event professionals.”
The association will collaborate with DoubleDutch to provide its attendees with an interactive event experience while also delivering to exhibitors and sponsors a way to measure the impact MPI events have on their bottom line. MPI will leverage DoubleDutch’s technology for WEC 2016 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, WEC 2017 in Las Vegas, and WEC 2018 in Indianapolis as well as for EMEC 2017 in Granada, Spain, and EMEC 2018.
“Two years ago, we decided to embrace mobile technology instead of producing a printed guide for our events and we haven’t looked back since. MPI conference attendees expect our event app to provide an intuitive, robust and seamless user experience and we believe the DoubleDutch platform has the functionality to do just that,” said Matthew Marcial, senior director of events for MPI.
By partnering with DoubleDutch, MPI will be able to provide easy-to-access content, personal scheduling and networking opportunities for a more valuable event experience. MPI event sponsors and exhibitors will also uncover new revenue streams in the process and also gain exposure through features including promoted posts, profiles, push notifications and more.
