Using Trumba Connect, the IFFS is able to offer a variety of display formats and a unique scheduling service for attendees to review session tracks, as well as select and add sessions to their personal calendar.

"Trumba Connect allows IFFS attendees to browse through events in a number of different formats segmented by subject or day. It is a great tool for our program because we have a number of tracks happening at the summit."

The IFFS event calendar features relevant event information that connects attendees across the industry with descriptions of sessions to download and share with others. In addition, Trumba Connect enables the IFFS to easily maintain and update the session tracks so attendees are kept aware of current information.
