The technology allows organizers to instantly send 132-character text messages to large groups of users from secure and identity- certified sources so that only authorized users deemed by show staff can publish information. The technology also allows organizers to send texts with tiny URLs that users with smartphones can click on to access pages of additional information as well as attachments, photos and video.

 

“Nixle allows organizers to send out updates about changes in plenary sessions, speaker updates, when refreshment areas will be closing, reminders to vote for awards programs or submit bids in auctions,” says Craig Mitnick, Founder of Nixle. “At the National Sheriff’s Association Annual Conference, for example, when it started raining, organizers let people know they’d be offering bus service to an off-site event.” The technology, which works anywhere cell phones do, can push out up to 500 text messages a second. Pricing for the service is determined based on usage. To learn more, contact Nixle at 877-NIXLENA or info@nixle.com.
