The award, presented at the Convio Summit in Austin, TX, awards the best innovative use of Convio's vast toolkit in an effort to achieve outstanding results.
After migrating to Convio for the 2008 Breast Cancer 3-Day series, National Philanthropic Trust set out to push the boundaries of Convio TeamRaiser and Personal Events tools to grow event participation, increase fundraising and improve overall user experience. NPT, working with Event 360 on this endeavor, helped pioneer the use of Convio's Open APIs by creating an online check-in process that allowed participants to review their registration and fundraising information, watch an instructional video and take a safety quiz before the event. In addition to the unique use of TeamRaiser and APIs, NPT was also an early adopter and innovative user of the Personal Events module which has allowed event participants to sign up for and lead training walks in their area and allow volunteers to sign up for event-day shifts.
Event 360 offers services in the areas of event production, consulting, and IT consulting. Our work with NPT and Susan G. Komen for the Cure® on the online portion of the Breast Cancer 3-Day is industry-leading and cutting-edge, as evidenced by receiving this Convio Innovator Award.
