Pros

“It centralizes complex training schedules and program agendas, ensuring seamless communication even in low-connectivity settings.”

Hizikiyas G.

Malaria Case management coordinator

“Presenters were able to upload slide presentations so I could easily follow along, questions could be sent via the app to presenters and groups could communicate too. ”

Deanna B.

VA Certification Officer and Registrar Specialist

“I appreciated having session details, resources, and networking opportunities all in one place. While there were a few minor challenges with navigation and notifications, the app helped create an organized and engaging event experience”

James T.

Assistant Director

Pros

“Run the World - gives me a platform where I can easily group people in main session, tables (similar to beakout rooms), and speed meeting (which they call cocktail hour) where I can do the milling.”

Sergio S.

CEO

“It gets live and pre-recorded video to a large amount of people and allows for easy conversations in pre and post show segments.”

Joseph A.

Broadcast Engineer (retired)

“I attended free, monthly sessions from an industry thought leader who convened a Subject Matter Expert on given dates and also facilitated a great discussion with attendees.”

Annie M.

Business Development

Cons

“The mobile app can sometimes feel cluttered when there is a large amount of event content.”

James T.

Assistant Director

“The messages seemed to get a bit overwhelming with quantities and being able to monitor them........”

Chris W.

Major Account Manager

“Navigating between management tools, session details, and event updates sometimes required extra steps, which could interrupt the flow of the experience.”

Jonathan W.

Assistant Professor of Medicine

Cons

“The thing I don't like about this software is that users have to make an RTW account to register for events, this should be peer-to-peer - which means the lead goes directly to the host , and if Runtheworld is getting leads via our event - Every event must be marked as affiliate and every lead got from that event will marked via host, and host gets % cut commission on every paid activity with Runtheworld.”

Unesh G.

Owner

“The recordings you get post-session are ABSYMAL - we had a lot of people on a panel but "off-screen" in some sessions and they show up as black squares in your recording, so those speaking are left as tiny squares in random places surrounded by a sea of black.”

Auja L.

Conference Chair

“The way it is all laid out as individual areas, means it makes it very tough to get through to each. When you increase the size of the screen the chat scrolls right through the presentation (awful).”
