Eventbase won the award for producing the official mobile app of the 2014 Cannes Lions Festival, the world's leading celebration of creativity in communications.
Powered by the Eventbase Premium Event App Platform, the Cannes Lions app was the complete guide to seven days of non-stop content delivered by more than 500 speakers. The app also let delegates scan thousands of advertising and communications pieces of work that were entered in for the highly coveted Lion trophies, a global benchmark of creative excellence.
Eventbase used iBeacon / Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to let attendees connect with people around them using the app. TechCrunch described this unique feature from Eventbase as “the culmination of a thousand ‘local social’ wet dream concepts”.
Also, Eventbase integrated with proximity beacons from Gimbal and beacon-triggered push notifications from Urban Airship to deliver hyper local messages to attendees.
