This year the conference program was expanded to three half-days and five tracks of learning and training sessions on the latest advances in the iMIS Engagement Management System (EMS). Chairman & CEO, Bob Alves, kicked off Day 1 of iNNOVATIONS LIVE with a motivating keynote address about coming through the storm of the past year. Day 2 featured an exciting app development competition among solution partners and the winners were announced on Day 3. Conference sessions included cloud-friendly application development, evaluating organizational maturity, overcoming roadblocks to continuous performance improvement, website accessibility, cloud migration, personalizing experiences to add value and grow revenue, and much more.

ASI used iMIS Inspire for Virtual Conferences powered by OpenWater to manage the global iNNOVATIONS LIVE and the event was again supported by the versatile ASI Connect app that was developed using iMIS Mobile powered by Clowder. The app kept registrants up-to-date and engaged, provided conference materials, and encouraged discussions within forums. All registrants will have access to an online library of presentation recordings and materials in ASI's Learning Hub, powered by TopClass LMS by WBT Systems, to ensure they can take advantage of all program content.

"Like many of our clients, we held our annual conference virtually again this year," said Edward Wendling, Global VP of Marketing for ASI. "While our registration numbers were great, what's most important is the level of engagement — 93% of conference registrants logged into our conference portal and participated in some way. The virtual format allowed us to bring important lessons and best practices to a larger segment of the iMIS community and we're really excited about that. Regardless of the state of the pandemic in 2022, I'm sure we will hold at least a hybrid event to ensure participation levels remain high."
