The ever-accelerating demands to renew and unify our communication schemes encouraged the CIC leadership to organize the programs of the CIC General Assembly 2020 around the widespread topics of communication. We are currently planning presentations on: African swine fever, large carnivores, social media challenges. In addition, the International Journalism Symposium on Wildlife Conservation and on Sustainable Use of Wildlife will also be held under the auspices of the Assembly.

The nature of these events and conferences has evolved tremendously over the past years. Attendees, including CIC members, guests, speakers, and journalists, require new tools to keep up with all the activities, from the registration phase to the distribution of proceedings. Everyone now expects a modern and engaging experience, where they have access to all the information, and the ability to make most of the networking opportunities that the event provides.

The CIC Headquarters has the pleasure to announce that the entire information flow of the 2020 General Assembly will be organized with the help of a state-of-the-art mobile application. This will be available on iOS and Android platforms free of charge for all General Assembly’ attendees.

The app will be available in the three official languages of the CIC. All information on scheduling, accommodation and speakers, as well as attendees and exhibitors, will be provided on the application, which will be updated live during the General Assembly.

Useful information will be shared, such as event logistic details, local maps, services, wi-fi login and transportation.

The app will allow attendees to create a personalized schedule from the master event schedule, add their own photos, and send messages to any of the attendees personally, or publicly to all users.

Attendees can search or scroll through the attendee list to see their details and contact them via in-app messaging. Attendees can manage their own photo and contact information directly within the app.

The app ensures that users’ content remains private by requiring attendees to login, and by setting expiration timeouts. The app will be released beginning of 2020.

The app enables us to offer a unique presence to companies, organizations who offer valuable products or services to our members.

Please read about all of the opportunities here and contact Judit Veres, CIC Event Coordinator, +36 23 45 38 30 to discuss the opportunities further.

Early bird registration starts on 14 December 2019.
