We’ve received lots of positive feedback on Phase I of StarPointe and we’re diligently working on Phase II. The primary change our clients will see is in the online reports. With enhanced features, intuitive queries and a sleeker look, we’re confident our clients will be equally complimentary of Phase II. Don’t worry... the reports themselves will still be the “tried and true” statistics you can depend on... just jazzed up a bit. We’re looking forward to revealing Phase II in the coming months. ~Dub Heffington President, ARI, Inc. Many event organizers have recognized the benefits of co-locating with other, like-industry events. Whether they represent complementing technologies or varying facets of the same industry, co-located events can provide benefits to event organizers, attendees and exhibitors alike. Some obvious benefits include an increase in attendance, more bang for the attendee’s travel buck and more potential for exhibitor lead generation. Have you considered the advantage of using the same registration company? Uniform badge printing and data collection allow for effortless crossover scanning and analytical reports. This can serve both organizers with enhanced attendee bases. Another area of consideration is the potential for cost savings. With one provider, event organizers may recognize savings in internet costs, staff expenses and freight charges. But let’s face it - using one registration provider isn’t always going to happen. If organizers for co-located events are committed to using two different registration companies, no problem! We’re happy to work through logistics such as data sharing and badge formats with another vendor to ensure a smooth and mutually beneficial onsite process. If you don’t already co-locate, maybe now is the time to consider it. ARI is honored to provide registration services to several co-located events and we’re always looking for more! did you know...? ARI first introduced self-registration in 1994.   In 2001, ARI ran registration for Fall Internet World on 262 terminals and 11 servers in 7 separate areas of the building.   80% of ARI’s employees have been with us for 10 years or more!   ARI’s first international event was in 1991.   ARI ‘s longest, ongoing client relationship spans 20 years.
