The Challenge:

The American Society of Hematology (ASH) hosts a major annual conference for more than 28,000 hematologists and other health care professionals from all 50 states and more than 100 countries around the world. With nearly 8,000 scientific abstracts, the society needed a mobile event app that could manage this large dataset efficiently and reliably. A key requirement was offline accessibility, as many attendees wanted to be able to read abstracts on planes without incurring Wi-Fi costs.

The Solution:

ASH turned to EventPilot, a mobile conference app known for its expertise in handling large academic datasets locally on devices. EventPilot’s compression technology ensures that users can quickly access information on their devices, even without an internet connection.

The Results:

  • Offline Access: Attendees can read scientific abstracts on planes and other locations without Wi-Fi.
  • Efficient Data Handling: The conference app manages a vast dataset, ensuring smooth performance and quick access to information.
  • Attendee Satisfaction: ASH attendees value the ability to access research and build their itinerary anytime, anywhere.

Karina Fernandez, CIO at ASH, noted, “With nearly 8,000 abstracts, EventPilot is the only meeting app that can manage large datasets like ours locally on the device. Our attendees want to read the abstracts on a plane and not pay for inflight Wi-Fi. Offline access is very important to our members.”

EventPilot helped ASH overcome data limitations and provide hematologists with the information they need, whenever they need it. By prioritizing offline access and efficient data compression, EventPilot and ASH empowered attendees and enhanced their conference experience.
