John Simek Featured in Above the Law

March 29, 2018

Recently, Sensei’s John Simek was featured in “Legal Conferences Struggle For Survival — Are Conference Apps The Cure?” by Nicole Black with Above the Law.

Excerpt: I asked one of the members of the ABA TECHSHOW Planning Board, John Simek, Vice President of Sensei Enterprises, what the Board hoped to accomplish with the 2018 app and what their vision was for iterations of the app in the years to come. He explained, “Our goal has been to provide an interactive forum for conference attendees that adds to — and simplifies — their experience. We’re hoping that the app will not only offer opportunities for engagement, but will also encourage increased participation, for example by making it easy for attendees to submit evaluations of sessions using the app, if that’s their preferred interface. We’d like to continue to build similar features into the app in the future.”

All in all, I’d say they’ve succeeded. The app adds to the experience of attendees and provides opportunities for a more interactive and engaging conference experience.

Certainly apps aren’t the sole solution to the problems legal conference organizers are facing. More innovation is required to meet the evolving expectations of 21st century lawyers. But developing conference apps that actually add to the attendees’ experience is undoubtedly a step in the right direction, and these apps are an important piece of the puzzle.
