Broadcasting helpful information (e.g. schedule, maps) to conference attendees will help alleviate their anxiety and Broadcasting personal tidbits to other conference attendees will make networking easier
User Study
- We already have the User Findings from the experiments in MozLondon: User Study #2 Findings and Themes and Data Analysis. The key learnings from the User Study were:
- More barriers to people interacting with and broadcasting their own content than expected.
- People didn’t stay engaged with the app - they forgot about it or it was too overwhelming.
- People seemed more interested in locating people they knew than meeting new people.
- Running many experiments at the same time made it harder to uncover insights.
- Regarding to the hypotheses we were not able to validate them or invalidate them
- Although attendees found useful info (as sched) we think that it could have been more useful if it were more widely implemented in all the hotels, besides, we don't think we lowered anyone's anxiety.
- Regarding the second hypothesis, we did not create any network connections (in general), the barriers play a huge part for those that were broadcasting that combined with the fact that it was only the cd group and we already know almost everyone.
- We feel that continuing to focus on conferences/events, and being able to control the “ecosystem”, we will obtain clearer insights that can then be used to improve that platform (View source and Mozfest)
Development
- The team has just landed basic "notifications" feature in iOS and Android to improve the engagement of the app, and in order to reduce the friction when distributing the application
- This week we will continue Improving how notifications work (e.g. by keeping history of beacons discovered, so users are not notified about them) and testing and bug fixing
Other
- Working together with Legal and Marketing teams to see the possible options to upload the app to Apple Store and Google Play to reduce the installation barrier
- Making a plan with Viewsource team to prepare the experiments in that event
- Logistics: checking and testing different beacons and providers to get reliable and cheaper beacons
- Last check in last Friday (July 15th): slides and video recording
