Key features of the IBIS App include: Information – From agenda and venue details to information about speakers and partners, the IBIS App brings to your fingertips everything you need to know before and during the event – not to mention real-time notifications about sessions, networking breaks and other in-event activities. Interaction – The IBIS App comes with innovative features such as Q&A, Surveys, and Live Polling that take interaction during IBIS conferences to the next level for attendees. Ask questions to panellists, give feedback about sessions, and voice your opinion with the touch of a button. Networking – The ‘matchmaking’ feature of the IBIS App helps attendees to network by allowing them to find relevant speakers, attendees, or sponsors as well as send private messages and manage who you ‘match’ with.
