The Conference KnowingTree makes it possible for people to link up, before, during and after a conference. Participants use this KnowingTree to plan recreational activities and to set-up meetings with people who share professional interests. The KnowingTree will foster a community atmosphere at the conference that will increase collaboration, learning and fun. F eatures At the core of each Conference KnowingTree is a secure database of the history and interests of conference registrants. A KnowingTree is created as registrants complete an online questionnaire that has been tailored to their interests.
Participants also have the option of uploading a photo.
The software uses information from the questionnaire to instantly generate listing pages. Participants can then search the database to view listing pages or to identify people who share common interests. Conference participants can easily update their pages online. Through access to administrative functions, the conference coordinator can generate mailing lists. The conference coordinator can also print copies of the KnowingTree for distribution at the conference.
