We won’t sting, we promise. From valuable social media survey data to exciting webinar content: we at Pathable have been busy little bees in 2012. Grab a cup of joe and a pen and paper, because there’s going to be a quiz at the end of the post. Kidding.

“State of Social Media for Events”

In late December, Pathable opened the “2011 State of Social Media for Events” survey. Many event professionals chose to share their professional insights and experience and for that we say thank you!

The data collected is robust and is providing sharp insights and trend identifications on how event professionals used social media last year. We are working hard to compile all the statistics from the survey, and can’t wait to share the findings later this month. Survey participants will get the first chance to access report we are producing, and everyone else will be able to download the report from our website in the first week of March. We will send out an email announcement when the report is available for download by the general public.

Webinars

Pathable is committed to providing the best in content-rich, relevant webinars, and what better way to do that than to work with our brilliant and savvy colleagues? We brought you multiple webinars through late 2011 and into 2012, and are excited to announce a webinar for March you won’t want to miss.

On March 8 at 11 am PST/2 pm EST, special guest and writer/blogger/meeting professional Michelle Bruno will be joining us to present a webinar on Mobile Applications for Events. Invitations will be sent out soon, so keep an eye on that inbox and mark your calendars now.

Exciting Product Updates

Some may call us perfectionists or even “crazy”, but we always want to improve our product – because our clients deserve nothing but the very best. We have rolled out some really exciting product updates in January, so get ready to geek out with us.

• Multilingual: A single Pathable site can be viewed in over two dozen different languages simultaneously.
• Improved Exhibitor / Sponsor support: Finely tuned control over descriptions, easy-to-administer and delegate control to exhibitor administrators and support for arbitrary sponsor levels
• Private meeting enhancements: Improved control over who may schedule meetings when and for how long; ability to set capacity limits on resources such as rooms or networking tables
• Site-wide alerts: Announcements can be pushed in real-time to the desktop viewers and mobile viewers

The Pathable Team is Growing!

In addition to hiring additional Developer ninjas in recent months, we have also added two new team members you may see or hear from in the near future. Vern Callero joined Pathable in January, bringing his winning personality and love of crisp white shirts to our Sales team. Welcome Vern! Katie Thorn came on board in February, and her addition to our savvy group of Account Managers further ensures that our clients get the white glove service we are committed to providing. Happy to have you, Katie!

Pathable has also added several new developers to our team and we would love to add more! Here is a list of some of our current open positions . Drop us a line if you know of someone who might be a great fit at Pathable.

Got a question for us? We’re always listening.
