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 sometimes smaller conferences didn't have an app at all. Data management was also a hassle, as information had to be input into a third-party system, leaving IPBA with limited control.
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 MyIPBA framework built in, IPBA have all they need evolve the app into a one-stop shop to serve their members year-round.

Initial feedback

Prioritize the agenda list, enlarging its size
