Our APPRISOR family of content delivery solutions includes:

• APPRISOR™ EPS (ELECTRONIC POSTER SYSTEM)
  With APPRISOR™ EPS, we can deploy abstracts and electronically submitted posters during and after your organization’s annual meeting. Our web-based reference system, organizes and displays poster content for easy, secure access during and after your meeting, or as a sponsored CD-ROM or DVD.
  
  
• APPRISOR™ AI/AR (AUDIENCE INTERACTION/AUDIENCE RESPONSE)
  Our APPRISOR™ AI service employs Wi-Fi and SMS to encourage attendees to forward questions directly to session presenters or a designated “screener.” Incoming questions can be quickly reorganized or edited before presentation. Screeners can even privately respond with text to the attendee. Our new Audience Response module leverages attendees’ personal wireless devices and cell phones to receive and graph audience responses to planned survey questions during a presentation or to create evaluations on-the-fly.
  
  
• ABSTRACTS ON CD-ROM
  Our APPRISOR™ EPS engine provides fully searchable abstracts of all sessions and posters on a convenient CD-ROM. This popular product also fulfills many sponsors’ desire to provide educational content in a package that can be handed to attendees during the meeting.
  
  
• APPRISOR™ CM (CONTENT MANAGER)
  We use our APPRISOR™ CM engine to create net-savvy CD-ROM archives of an organization's PDF-based reference materials that can continue to update itself once the user takes it home. The APPRISOR™ CM CD-ROM also provides a conduit to deliver timely association messages throughout the year whenever the user accesses the contents. The American Heart Assocication's popular Core Collection CD-ROMs are developed with APPRISOR™ CM.
  
  
• APPRISOR™ PDA / APPRISOR™ NET
  With our information delivery system specifically designed for medical organizations, we can distribute your content to Palm OS, Pocket PC, BlackBerry and any ‘Live’ handheld devices before, during, and after your meeting. Our industry-leading, full featured and freely distributable APPRISOR™ handheld document viewer and skilled document creation services provide a speedy and cost effective way to make sure your members can always have your organization's important content, such as practice guidelines, conveniently close at hand. Perfect for sponsorship opportunities.
