Conference Compass Expands
The Conference Compass team is enjoying new office space in the YES!Delft building. After doubling in headcount over the past six months, the team was more than ready to move to a larger space. The new office is more than 2.5 times bigger than the old office and has a much better position in the building. Co-founder Mathieu Gerard said, "The new space has made us more productive. We have more room for team meetings and brainstorming sessions. It has also brought more comfort into the office with natural light and a relaxing couch area." The new office still has plenty of room for the team to grow. Co-founder Jelmer van Ast said, "We already have desks set-up for two additional team members and plenty of room to add more."
Are you interested in joining the team? If so, check out our openings on the Careers page.

2nd year for ESC and Conference Compass
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has selected to use a Conference Compass app for the second year in a row. Over 30,000 people attended last year's conference and similar numbers are expected again this year.
ESC organizers chose the Custom Branded solution for both 2011 and 2012. The Conference Compass team and their partner Marathon International are working closely with the organizers to build custom menu navigation and new ways to showcase sponsors.
Ben Hainsworth, Director of Congresses and Meetings Division at the European Society of Cardiology commented on their experience with Conference Compass in 2011, "It was great to work with such a committed, flexible and creative team… The app had all relevant features that we expected and our attendees were very satisfied with this new resource." Jelmer van Ast of Conference Compass stated, "We are really excited to work with the ESC team again. They have great vision and bring many good ideas to our discussions. We are looking forward to building a great app that fits their needs."
