Integration with CVENT will broaden the utility and increase the appeal of the platform by helping end-users seamlessly register and become more productive while using the platform.
Integration Benefits:
- Integration with largest event registration provider.
- Users can register for one time events or create user accounts for full portal access.
- Triggers InfernoAR to programmatically send unique login information to attendees allowing them to click on their personal calendar reminder to access event.
- Single click login for users instead of passwords.
Evan Gappelberg, NexTech CEO comments, “This additional integration adds tremendous value to our platform as everyone's first impression is registration, so having a seamless frictionless registration is mission critical. We will continue over the coming weeks to add more features and functionality to extend the capabilities and appeal of our InfernoAR platform which should further strengthen our market position”.
With added features like live moderated questions and now CVENT simple registration, the InfernoAR integrated platform can extend corporate meetings, school classes and lectures, product demonstrations, and trade show presentations to wide audiences while maintaining a high-quality small conference experience and also maintaining real-time moderated interactivity.
With corporate meetings and events going virtual through online collaboration and web conferencing tools, NexTech has developed a method to seamlessly integrate 3D photo realistic holograms of people and products into these virtual events through WebAR or through its ARitize App. Whether you need to host a full-featured conference, a keynote for a major product announcement, a virtual booth to welcome your partners, investors, and advocates, or remote training sessions, NexTech is able to help you reach the heart of your audience, with our unique AR touch.
