Participants at the World Economic Forum on East Asia are among the first to use the new Spotme.
Lausanne, Switzerland (PRWEB) July 23, 2007 -- Shockfish SA, today, announced that the World Economic Forum used the new Spotme handheld devices at the World Economic Forum on East Asia 2007, which was held in Singapore during June.
The 300 participants were among the first in the world to use the new Spotme handheld devices. The new keyboard allowed participants to send more than 500 messages to each other and take notes on conference sessions over the course of the two day event. In addition, many elements of the event's conference binder were available electronically on Spotme, including venue maps, political cartoons, partner information and program information.
Two years ago, Malte Godbersen, Principal, Head of IT, World Economic Forum provided some of the initial inspiration for the new Spotme. "We are very pleased to see the Forum's ideas realized in the new Spotme device," said Godbersen during the event.
This was the fourth time that Spotme was used at a World Economic Forum event in the past two years and the second time at the World Economic Forum on East Asia. The new Spotme launched in June 2007 and was used at events in Switzerland and Shanghai, before debuting in Singapore.
