Pathable's rich and flexible feature set allows you to create a community on your terms, automatically integrating data from LinkedIn, Twitter and other social networking services.
Its friendly, easy-to-use interface is designed to draw in and engage even technophobic event attendees, and the powerful but unobtrusive sponsor tools help you tap the revenue stream on which your event relies.
Why Pathable?
Rich Attendee Profiles
Attendees personalize their profiles: photos, bios, tags, as well as links to all their other representations of themselves on the web (e.g., LinkedIn, Twitter, Flickr).
Sponsor and Exhibitor Value
Exhibitors get a customizable "virtual tradeshow booth" where attendees book meetings on-line. Sponsors and exhibitors participate in the community as peers of the attendees, providing them valuable, non-intrusive engagement with potential customers.
Unique Communication Tools
All social networks let users send messages, but only Pathable lets them target conversations to those who share their "tags".
Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook
Ever wonder if anyone you know will be at the conference? Pathable automatically tells you which of your Twitter friends will be there, rolls up everyone's tweets and helps you use the event hash tag. Also integrates with LinkedIn, Facebook and more.
Surveys and Polls
Survey and poll your attendees. Questions can include embedded photos and videos using PollDaddy's flexible engine. Includes reports and analysis.
Integrated Conference Calendar
Green your meeting with on-line hand-outs and slide. See who is attending each talk and an integrated, per-session wiki allows attendees to suggest questions and share notes.
Recommendation Algorithms
Finding the right people to meet is hard! Pathable makes it easy with advanced recommendation algorithms that pro-actively suggest good "matches".
Host Tools and Customization
From the look and feel to custom questions, you control your event. Monitor your event community's activity and health with up-to-the-minute metrics.
Icebreaking Badges
Goodbye boring "Hello, My Name Is" conference badges! Pathable produces custom badges that include not just name, title and company, but what each attendee is interested in talking about plus a list of people to meet.
Testimonials
Time away from my business is expensive. I used Pathable to figure out exactly who to meet before I got there.
- Lauren M., conference attendee
[Bizjam attendees] loved Pathable's badges! Thank you!
- Dan McComb, Bizjam Seattle conference host
Smart conference organizers should be hiring these folks. Conferences talk the talk about connecting people and building networks, but rarely do anything to facilitate it. Pathable is a real tool to help make that stuff happen.
