IPBA members were tired of downloading a new app for every conference, and sometimes not getting one at all.
We built them a single app to rule all their events, with member login, personalized agendas, and full control. Finally.
The Partner
The Inter-Pacific Bar Association (IPBA) is a global network of over 1,600 business and commercial lawyers with a focus on the Asia-Pacific region. Each year, they host an Annual Meeting and Conference, drawing attendees from more than 65 legal jurisdictions worldwide.
The Problem
Previously, for each conference, IPBA relied on a third-party provider to deploy a white-labeled app specific to that event. Attendees had to download a new app every year, and smaller conferences didn't have an app at all. Standardized conference apps didn’t cut it for specialized legal events. IPBA needed something tailor-made.
The Solution
Enter Panaxeo. We developed a unified mobile application using Flutter, ensuring compatibility across iOS and Android platforms, including tablets. The app integrates with IPBA's existing backend through Google Firebase Cloud Functions.
The app is built as a custom conference companion for IPBA with all the required features. On top of that, with the MY IPBA framework built in, IPBA have all they need to evolve the app into a one-stop shop to serve their members year-round.

Initial feedback
The event gave us vital feedback from the very people who’ll be using the app for years to come. The tweaks we introduced:
Prioritize the agenda list, enlarging its size
Better events filter
More specialized parameters in speaker/attendee filters
Better legibility and font-size

“As secretary-general, I wanted to push IPBA to the next frontier and create a single platform for networking, membership management, and our own tailor-made conference app. Panaxeo understood our wish and quickly came up with a great solution which we can scale further.”
