Brand New Virtual Booths – Completely Redesigned

February 1, 2012 Rob Arthurs

Brand new and improved virtual booths! Our new design lays out all the information at once, creating a beautiful, interactive company profile. We have added more social media to the v-Booths, with links to Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.  We also now pull in a company’s Twitter feed directly into the page.  All of this is in addition to the standard features of the v-Booths: logo, description, video embed, contact details, and marketing materials. Now, more than ever before, a virtual booth is the best way to expose your company and products to delegates prior to a conference. See below for a full list of features.

Though the old style booth graphic was lovely to look at, the problem was that it forced much of the company information to be hidden behind popups – requiring an extra mouse click to view. So out with the old and in with the new.

New Mobile App Feedback Features: Ratings and Polling

January 9, 2012 Rob Arthurs

This must be the most requested feature for Leebug Mobile. It has always been on our roadmap, but now it’s here and we are happy to announce our new features for event producers to receive instant feedback on their event.

Ratings

We have set up up the app so that any session or any speaker can be rated by the attendees. On each page there is a “Tap to Rate” prompt which will elegantly display our 5 star rating system. One star is a rating of Poor while five stars is Outstanding.  In the app administration tool, the event producer can view the average rating and how many times the particular item had been rated. This tool will be a fantastic resource for getting the delegate’s assessment of an event and it’s content.

Nifty New App Feature Let’s You Turn Off Nav Items

December 7, 2011 Rob Arthurs

Today we released a new feature in the Leebug Mobile app admin that allows you to activate or de-activate the main navigational items on the app. For example, if your event doesn’t have an exhibition area you can turn off the Exhibitors tab using the new App Settings menu (like the image shown here).

Another example would be to turn off the attendee networking component. Some event producers are particularly sensitive about people seeing their delegates (even if viewing them requires a password), and that’s fine, we respect that.  In this case the event producer now has a perfectly capable paperless event guide.
