Mobile apps for conferences are becoming staples. If you don’t have one yet for your future events, it’s high time to give some thought to if an event app is a fit for you. The upside is convenience and providing quick support to attendees. But with all the commotion lately about data privacy, you also need to think about the downsides. Are you able to keep your audience’s private information secure before, during, and after the event?

A brokerage event is more than one-on-one meetings between professionals. A truly valuable interaction should involve the careful matchup between the networking profiles of your attendees.

During my 20+ years as an IT consultant and developer, I fell in with a delightful international crowd of software testers: those all-important people responsible for the impossible task of making sure that software works the way it’s supposed to. (Fun fact: the testing community often uses my term “peer conferences” for their get-togethers, due to a chat about meeting design I had with tester James Bach at the 2004 Amplifying Your Effectiveness conference.
