From stage to attendees: Smartwatches take over resco.next 2019

At resco.next, we’ve talked a lot about innovation and wearables for business. And as we introduced our Industry Watch initiative, we wanted to give every attendee the opportunity to experience it hands-on.
That’s why, right after the Keynote, every resco.next attendee received their own smartwatch with a pre-installed resco.next 2019 watch application.

What did it actually do?
After putting on the watch, the resco.next app enabled attendees to track their activities throughout the conference. Utilizing the local Bluetooth beacons, the watch app automatically detected in which of the three session rooms the person was. Based on the event agenda, it then measured how much time he/she spent on a session taking place in the room.

When people changed their location (e.g., left a session to stretch their legs and get some refreshments in the lobby), the watch noticed it, vibrated briefly, and switched the activity from a specific session to “Break & Networking”. In this mode, users could also tap dedicated counters to keep track of how many coffees they had, how many times they stepped outside for a smoke, or how many people they talked to.

The app also counted the number of steps, so at the end of both days, attendees had a detailed overview of how they spent their time at resco.next 2019 in Rome. They could see the sessions they attended and the time spent on each, review how long they’ve been on breaks and their activities during those breaks, plus the distance walked at the conference.
