We are very proud to announce that on Tuesday, 15 December at the TechCrunch ChristmasCrunch event in London, we will premiere our  real-time mobile conferencing platform.

At the TechCrunch event, we are inviting a select number of attendees to us Yasmo Live and they will be able to see and search through a rotating list of picture-based profiles of fellow attendees on their mobile phone, not a rented device.

How does it work?  Simple. The Yasmo Live platform deploys Wi-Fi enabled networks, increasing the speed of data exchange and surpassing mobile data charges, especially for conferences taking place abroad.

Developed for both the conference goer and the organiser, so that neither lose any business opportunities, users can immediately locate and meet sought after business leads, customers, partners or media contacts, or store their details for later use, making every moment at the conference count.

Plus, for the conference and event organiser, we provide a compelling new advertising platform as well as the means to increase attendance rates and registration. Our white label service gives sponsors exclusive visibility amongst highly targeted audiences by enabling them to ‘dress’ the application with their brands and track the effectiveness of their advertising.

We believe that there needs to be a union of both the physical and digital world at events and conferences and Yasmo Live reduces the cultural and technological barriers for event organisers and creates a two-way communication platform for vendors, sponsors and attendees. The platform enables better tracking of registered delegates, easy gathering of feedback forms and identification of the demographics and special interests of attendees all of which lead to more profitable and meaningful events.

Installing Yasmo Live on the mobile phone is simple and requires one download. It allows users to save and take notes on individual profiles onto their personal Yasmo Live account, where they can login and pursue contacts made or even missed at the event. Users can filter connections through preferred criteria and search for those business leads they want to network with. The second version of the application will feature embedded microblogging features for extended networking capabilities in Q1 2010.

If you are in London at the TechCrunch event, we hope you will try this new real-time networking experience and sign up at www.yasmolive.com. See you mobile!

Compelling advertising platform for event sponsors

Advertising, Event Networking, Event Sponsors No Comments »

Organizing an event involves a large amount of work and effort that goes into planning something significant for a community or group of people. Another big responsibility for event planners is creating value to sponsors, who are supporting the event and in return are expecting access to commercial advertising platforms. It is in this way that sponsors, or advertisers, gain business opportunities and recognition from suppliers, customers, organizers and visitors of the event.
Promoting your company logo and basic profile derives benefits for both parties as positive associations are made between the event theme and the exclusive sponsors. Sponsors are also critical as they play an essential part in the continuing success and growth of community events, as well as increasing employee engagement, expanding access to media and building their brand presence.

As sponsors create trusting relationships with clients and customers at annual events, they also enter into competitive environments where other companies are equally approached and also crave to secure the mutually desired benefit of sponsorship category exclusivity. Endorsing one’s corporate identity with the logo or brand name on as many promotional items as possible is the key incentive for sponsorship by big companies.

YasmoLive has created a novel sponsorship opportunity for these extreme competitive situations. Using white label services over the mobile application solution, sponsors are able to adorn the application with their logo, brand name or other marketing icons and thereby gain attention and heightened visibility amongst all those attendees and visitors to an event. Targeting your self-selected audience is part of YasmoLive’s sponsorship package and ensures unique brand exposure to those utilizing the innovative and sophisticated mobile application.

Creating public awareness, improving one’s company credibility, increasing media coverage and enhancing relationships with public bodies are key motivating points for sponsorship; however companies also seek out those events which show a positive return on their sponsorship efforts. In the past, primarily large companies offered and could afford sponsorship for events. Today YasmoLive offers both large and smaller companies the opportunity to boost their visibility and public awareness and get involved in sponsorship and events that support hi-tech and new mobile devices, surpassing cultural and technological barriers. In addition, sponsors are given the opportunity to network and engage with previously unidentified customers, competitors or partners.
