Montreal, QC - November 3, 2022
Sherpa, a leading provider of customized event solutions, recently provided its custom mobile event app for attendees at Vision Expo West held September 14-17, 2022, at the Venetian Convention Center & Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada. Since 2010, Sherpa’s custom mobile event app has been used exclusively at Vision Expo West.
The 4-day event, presented by Reed Exhibitions and The Vision Council, brought together thousands of ophthalmic professionals and hundreds of exhibitors for a closer look at innovative trends, new technologies, and the latest in products and services. The event also allows attendees to forge new relationships and network with industry partners.
To facilitate these networking opportunities, attendees at the show used Sherpa’s custom mobile event app with its built-in networking and messaging system to connect and meet with individuals who shared similar goals and interests. For exhibitors, the mobile app helps them easily identify business opportunities.
“Sherpa’s advanced machine learning algorithms generate recommendations based on the profiles of users,” said Jacques Racine, Founder and CEO of Sherpa. “Our AI-powered engine makes personalized recommendations on exhibitors, products, and educational sessions that best fit an attendee’s needs, interests, and objectives.”
Sherpa’s customized interfaces and full-service implementation continues to set its mobile event app apart from other mobile event app solutions. A huge differentiator, Sherpa’s custom mobile event app is unique to Vision Expo West, includes only the required features, and reinforces the look and feel of the event’s brand.
Sherpa’s custom mobile event app will also be used at Vision Expo West’s sister show, Vision Expo East, at the Javits Center in New York City from March 16-19, 2023; Vision Expo West will once again take place at The Venetian Expo from September 27-30, 2023.
