Event Types

With your mobile event app from Results at Hand, you have the option to add two different types of events: meetings and conferences.

This guide will explain both types of events and how to determine which is best for your event.

Conferences vs. Meetings

Under your event’s Basic Settings, you have the option to add the event as a meeting or conference. The example screen below has this area boxed in orange.

Selecting between the two event types will determine the look and feel of your event.

In short, meetings are for small events with limited navigation. Conferences are fully featured events with full navigation typically supporting multiple day engagements. We will provide further details on each below.

Meetings

As mentioned, meetings are ideal for smaller events. Examples include but aren’t limited to board meetings, webinars, golf outings, etc. Meetings provide all the information an app user needs right on the home screen. 

The home screen of a meeting event is displayed in a linear format. The meeting’s title, date and time, and program type are listed first. Then available features are listed out followed by the meeting location and description.

The header banner for meetings is also smaller and contained in the event’s context.

Conferences

The Conference event type on the other hand in an event with multiple activities and day requiring more engaging features. Examples include but aren’t limited to annual conferences, trade shows, retreats, etc.

The home screen of a conference event, which can be seen to the left, is displayed with icons. Conferences also provide three menu tabs at the top: home menu, info/ description, and check in.

You will also notice the header banner for conferences spreads across the full-width of the app.
