New Zealand-based event app company, ShowGizmo, has partnered exclusively with Crowd Mics in Phoenix, Arizona to offer what is said to be the first and only technology that turns smartphones into wireless microphones at conferences and events.
The new app, called ShowGizmo+Crowd Mics, uses Crowd Mics technology which is powered by the event venue’s Wi-Fi and audiovisual system, connecting the producer device to smartphones in the audience. The producer device receives and accepts requests to talk, which enables the individual microphones.
The app is expected to encourage audience participation and removes the hassle of running multiple microphones around the room.
While ShowGizmo does not have an office in Asia nor does it have current plans to expand into the region, the company’s CEO, Marie-Claire Andrews, said: “We are the number one event app in Australasia and support all markets throughout the Asia-Pacific.
“We can provide our event apps in several languages, including Mandarin, across iOS, Android and the mobile web.”
