CICS constantly strives to improve the services it delivers in support of conferences. Four new services are now available: advance online registration, online document retrieval, on-site WiFi (wireless Internet) and videoconferencing.
Online registration
CICS’ online system takes much of the work and worry out of registration for both delegates and organizers. In consultation with the client, a CICS Manager of Conference Services customizes the standard registration form (in both official languages) and posts it online, enabling delegates to register prior to the event.
The online system verifies the eligibility of registrants and tracks the number of registrants, along with the names of their sponsor organizations. The system can also produce a variety of status reports in a matter of minutes – Information that is very useful to conference organizers in the planning stage.
Videoconferencing
CICS has acquired the equipment and expertise needed to design and deliver the videoconference services needed to make your event a success.
Online document retrieval
A perfect way to complement online registration is to post conference documents to a secure website.
Registrants are assigned individual passwords that enable them to access and download the materials before and during the event.
On-site WiFi
CICS acknowledges the importance of keeping connected during conferences. As an added convenience to delegates, CICS now offers a secure WiFi connection in the main conference room. The ability to access a password-protected, dedicated network will speed up the sharing of information and increase the productivity of delegates.
The new services respond to clients’ needs by making increased use of technology while cutting down on the consumption of paper at conferences and benefiting the environment. If you have technologies or ideas that you’d like to implement at your next event, please contact us.
