Personalized agenda

Large events have an overload problem: hundreds of sessions and exhibitors, and attendees who can realistically absorb a dozen. Left to themselves, most people skim the program once, pick whatever's familiar, and later report they "probably missed things" — which reads as dissatisfaction in post-event surveys even when the content was strong. A personalized agenda attacks this directly. The inputs are whatever the organizer can gather: interest tags from registration, job role, past attendance, and — most valuably — in-app behavior like searches and favorites, which reveal what people actually want rather than what they claimed in a form months earlier. The output is a suggested schedule the attendee can edit, share, and sync to their calendar. Done well, it measurably lifts session attendance and exhibitor visits because intent formed before arrival survives contact with a busy show floor. The common mistake is personalizing only from registration data. Those forms are filled in quickly, months in advance, and often by an assistant; agendas built on them alone feel generically wrong, which is worse than no personalization. Blend in live behavior, and always keep the agenda editable — a suggestion the attendee can override builds trust, while a locked schedule breeds resentment.
