Since 2016 the Northeast Acquirers Association was looking for a way to get attendees to engage more at the annual event, reduce their costs for printed materials, allow them to make late breaking changes and have an easier way for attendees to get post-event information enmasse.

Using a combination of Flutter, Google Real-Time Databases and push notifications the NEAA mobile app, combines traditional information – sponsors, calendar of sessions, exhibitors, local restaurants, directions – with push notifications for late changes, updates and notifications.

Starting in 2017, NEAA stopped producing the mounds of paper normally used in a conference of this size and moved everything to a mobile app. Updated a few times a year with post-event information and pre-event information, the team at NEAA has made their event management lives easier – while reducing their costs.
