Conference research is invaluable for evaluating the success of marketing and communications activity at medical conferences. However, it is becoming increasingly difficult to carry out effective research using traditional techniques.
We conduct mobile conference research amongst physicians attending conferences, giving our clients real-time feedback and insight into delegates’ reactions as they happen. Our approach is very successful at engaging respondents, offers rich insights and immediate outputs.
Conference Live gives you real-time insights, utilising the multimedia functionality of the smartphone in an innovative mobile app methodology.
