ABOUT CONFERENCE COMPASS

Conference Compass is a hybrid event engagement platform headquartered in the Netherlands, focused on global scientific and medical conferences. The platform allows conference organizers to build a portal accessible via a browser or mobile app that allows participants to explore and personalize their event schedule and network with other attendees, speakers and exhibitors.

Conference Compass’ original product aimed to improve interaction and engagement at traditional in-person conferences, but the pandemic pushed them to launch a hybrid event platform that works for virtual, in-person, and hybrid events. The platform allows participants to engage in live event sessions with audio/video chat, questions, and voting. This pivot to hybrid events has ultimately helped to make scientific and medical conferences more inclusive, allowing people to participate and interact from all over the world without having to travel.

The Power of Real-Time Engagement

Conference Compass’ original focus on boosting interaction at in-person events positioned the company well to bring their engagement expertise to virtual and hybrid conferences. This focus on engagement led them to integrate real-time voice, video, and messaging right into the new hybrid platform from the start.

The Conference Compass platform uses real-time voice and video to promote interaction in virtual conference rooms for everything from large moderated sessions to small group roundtable sessions and private one-on-one meetings. All of this is accessible for participants through any browser or a mobile app, enabling inclusive, real-time interaction for every participant whether they are attending in-person or virtually from across the world.
