17 Conference Tracker Testimonials

"We use this software to ensure compliancy with the requirements of Continuing Education Credits earned. The attendees appreciate that we have invested in this software to provide a solution that delivers an awesome and positive conference experience."

"We started scanning in and out about 7 years ago. We also include a sign in / sign out sheet with the proctor as a back-up. Scanning has been a huge staff time saver. Our doctors weren’t too happy with the switch at first but now they roll with the flow. We originally purchased our scanner system from XXX. They designed the software to fit out specific needs. They also took my CE letter and worked it to merge with the data collected. Overall we were happy with the product. The biggest problem we had was our Board would monitor the sessions and there always seemed to be operator error, thus the importance of the sign in /out sheets. We combated the issue of the operator error with the hiring of proctors. We hired college students and their namebadges said their name and we made up the company name “ScanMan Technologies”. Being an “independent company” responsible for scanning, this seemed to be a great help with attendees arguing about scanning in and out. Doctors could not ask a Board member to let them not scan out when they left in a midst of the session, leaving the Board member conflicted. Don’t get me wrong, you will still have the doctor say he has a heart condition and cannot be scanned or I am only going to the bathroom for a minute, or even slipping out the service entrance and coming back soaking wet from the pool. There will always be those few. In 2014 we leased newer technology from Engineerica called Conference Tracker. It is sooooo easy to use and so much more efficient, plus it is economical! You know immediately if the scan did not take place. We had fewer errors. They too have a CE Verification letter you can use, the namebadges are printed from their website with the QR code automatically assigned. They even have the software for the vendors to lease. They lease iPods, or you can use your own iPhone to scan. This is the first year ever that we did not have doctors calling saying I attended such and such and did not get the credit. Another huge benefit for us is we do not have to continually worry about updating the software to implement changes and/or bugs and still have not the scanner work correctly."

"If you're looking for a product that is easy to use, that allows real-time tracking, the ability to customize and print registrations, the ability to see sessions that are hot versus not with post conference analytics for planning subsequent years' events, this is the software package."

"I am a Nurse Planner for our hospital's regional conferences. This past April, we held our annual UPMC Hamot Nursing Symposium. It was a single day conference with numerous breakout sessions, 48 speakers, and this year our planning committee wanted to add an App to the conference experience to track attendance, obtain evaluation feedback from attendees and to generate continuing education credit/certificates for our attendees. I have worked as a Nurse planner for a number of years and we have always used paper forms for evaluations and attendance. I have attended other national professional conferences and utilized apps before (as an attendee). So, I have experience with the “user” side of apps but this was my first opportunity to work with the “behind the scenes” set up of an App for an educational, professional conference. Overall our experience was very positive. The staff at Engineerica who help with Conference Tracker are exceptional. Chadd Blodgett was very professional and accommodating with our requests for references and numerous quotes - to make sure that we felt comfortable with our decision in purchasing Conference Tracker. The set-up and implementation of the App was possible because of the tireless efforts and tremendous support of Tawan T. He is good natured and very knowledgeable. He handled challenges VERY well! He can troubleshoot anything that comes up. He was very timely in response to my questions. (ie. He returned emails and phone calls within the same day – and usually within the hour). Tawan is very professional and organized. And when we were discussing different things over the phone, he was extremely patient in response to my questions. It was an extreme pleasure to work with Tawan on this project. Our attendees gave us a lot of positive feedback - noting the App to be very user friendly and interactive. The summary data in the form of graphs that we got from Conference Tracker was very professional looking. Thanks to Conference Tracker, we took our conference to the next level!"

"We were using EventBrite but had to engage the services of Conference Tracker at the eleventh hour in order to be able to check-in/check-out participants at multiple sessions during same timeslots using iPads. These folks took care of the importing of session data, room data, etc. from Eventbrite into Conference Tracker for check-in/check-out on conference day. They went way above and beyond your typical customer service/tech support . Worked like a charm and I am very grateful. Will use this service again for other conferences/training sessions next school year."
