Sherpa clients receive valuable data on guest behavior via geolocation technology. Here, exhibit floor traffic is captured to show area density and attendee movement during an event.
IAVM is pleased to announce a 2015-2016 global partnership with Sherpa Solutions. This is the highest partner level available at the association and reflects a tremendous commitment to the community of venues and professionals it serves.
Through the new partnership, attendees to all of IAVM’s conferences and schools will experience Sherpa’s award-winning app platform, including additional venue-wide indoor geolocation features at the VenueConnect Annual Conference & Trade Show (August 1-4, 2015) and at the International Convention Center Conference (ICCC), October 1-3, 2015.
