As businesses expand into the global market, professional conferences, where individuals working in the same field have discussions face-to-face, become even more complicated to organize. These conferences must be planned down to the last detail and carried out seamlessly— 34 such tasks are ones executed by event planners. When planning conferences, event planners coordinate each guest’s hotel accommodations, schedule the panel discussions, 35 manage the necessary transportation, security features, and catering requirements.

In 2013, Fleur’s employer, the Global Reporting Initiative(GRI), tasked her with planning the “Global Conference on Sustainability and Reporting.” This conference included 1,600 participants from 69 countries attending 52 sessions and roundtable discussions. GRI also hired the company 37 QuickMobile. GRI had QuickMobile develop a customized mobile event application(app) to be used by the conference participants.
At the onset, Fleur wanted to utilize the app to improve the efficiency of her daily tasks. 38 In particular, she wanted to simplify how she responded to unexpected schedule changes during the conference. Replacing a bulky three-ring binder (a hallmark of the event-planning 39 profession). Fleur used the app to store key documents on her mobile device and to send out alerts regarding scheduling revisions. Fleur also recognized that the app 40 saved time during the planning process, as she was able to use it as a replacement for the 75-page program book developed for conferences, which saved 13 trees and over 500 liters of water. Participants were thus encouraged to download the app to stay informed of conference

As an event planner, Fleur needed not only to manage the conference 41 and also to determine if her decisions were successful. Fleur used the app to poll participants on their 42 opinions of the conference’s logistics.

Fleur’s actions demonstrate how technology can help event planners coordinate successful conferences. New technologies may continue to emerge as the number of event planners increases—the US Bureau of Labor Statistics expects a growth rate of 33 percent in the profession from 2012 to 2022. 44 The bureau also predicts that individuals with expertise in virtual software will have an advantage in the job market, so Fleur’s use of the mobile events app to plan GRI’s conference may be an example of a burgeoning career trend.
