GDI once again opts for event app based on PRESTIGEenterprise

The Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute is providing participants at its international conference with an app from the PRESTIGEenterprise app kit.

Heidelberg, 24 June 2025 +++ The Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute (GDI) is relying on a proven digital solution for the 5th International Food Innovation Conference on 19 June 2025: the official conference app is based on the PRESTIGEenterprise software platform's modular app system and already proved its worth in March at the „European Trend Day“ with over 260 participants. The app combines all the relevant functions for a modern event experience: participants can view the current programme, call up general information and create a personal profile with a photo and contact details.

„An event without an app is simply no longer in keeping with the times,“ explains Dr Petra Tipaldi, Head of Conferences at the GDI. „However, we don't just want to provide our participants with all the information on mobile devices, we also want to offer interactive options. This includes enabling participants to give us their feedback and ask the speakers questions on their mobile devices. The barriers to this are significantly lower on mobile devices, which is why these functions are also used extensively.“

A major advantage for the organisation team: the GDI app displays all events centrally - yet each participant only sees their booked event, with up-to-date content at all times. Access to the app is password-protected, which guarantees maximum security and personalisation.

With the modular approach of the PRESTIGEenterprise platform, the GDI can organise its event communication efficiently and flexibly - a decisive added value in a constantly changing event environment.
