What does your tool help event planners do better?

How is your tool different from/better than the competition?

DoubleDutch is the only mobile event app vendor that has integrated well-known social gestures into mobile event technology.  Within the DoubleDutch Events app are activities similar to “likes” on Facebook , “check-ins” on Foursquare, and “followers” on Twitter. This results in sky-high engagement and a central hub for all social activity, unlike any competitor.

By creating a truly dynamic social feed that keeps attendees engaged and coming back to the app for more, event organizers are able to gather large amounts of data. DoubleDutch is the only vendor that can surface leads to organizers and exhibitors based on this attendee behavior data. The social features are good crowd pleasers, and also produce actionable insights and demonstrate ROI.

What is the single coolest feature of your product?

The activity feed is the real source of magic in our event app. Attendees can check-in to sessions and exhibitors, comment, like and share photos in a simple and intuitive way. DoubleDutch events creates an interest-based social network around your brand. Best of all, all of these actions are measurable,  whichs helps event organizers plan smarter events in the future!
