A ChargeBox Events Case Study
Keeping Gartner event attendees connected with ChargeBox
Gartner is the world's leading research and advisory company.
As part of its missions to deliver market-leading insight and advice, Gartner holds conferences around the globe covering IT, marketing, sales, legal and human resources issues.
The events provide a great opportunity for networking and engagement, meaning that delegates rely heavily on mobile devices and a charging solution is crucial.
The Challenge:
Gartner often asks delegates to engage with a mobile application at an event. This means devices lose battery quicker than usual during the day and a dependable charging solution was needed to alleviate the low battery problem that many attendees encounter.
The Solution:
Since 2013, ChargeBox has partnered with Gartner to provide charging solutions for event attendees.
In 2017, ChargeBox agreed a multi-year contract to provide the majority of Gartner's EMEA events with charging services, including the largest event on the calendar: the annual Gartner Symposium in Barcelona.
Business Benefits:
Staying charged allows attendees to run the event app throughout the day, providing access to critical information surrounding the agenda.
ChargeBox also keeps delegates on-site for longer, since a low battery often encourages early departures to hotel rooms.
Additionally, Gartner sells the stations as part of a sponsorship package, creating an additional revenue stream.
Gartner said: “ChargeBox provided a hassle-free service at Data Centre Dynamics. The combination of The QUBE™ and locker stations provided a complete charging service throughout the event and choice to our delegates; they could either charge their phone or tablet while working or secure their device in a locker. We had high usage.”
