PennyPortals

Penny answers your participants and chases what they owe.

Give sponsors, speakers, delegates and providers someone who knows their tasks: Penny answers in their portal using your knowledge base and their own task details, and brings your team the questions she cannot answer. Penny is the only agent participants meet. For you, Penny pre-checks every submission and prepares each chase with every recipient visible, ready for your yes.

Things to ask Penny

  • Try: What is overdue this week?
  • Try: Chase the late ones.
  • Try: Let's go through the submissions.
  • Try: Who is late and what are they late on?
  • Try: Leave Halden out, I will call Elin myself.
  • Try: Decline it politely. We are keeping the last Platinum place for a new sponsor.

How it was made

Penny turns your request into work ready for your approval.

Watch Penny turn a request into a proposal in this replay for the fictional Northgate Forum 2027 at the Riverside Congress Centre in Rotterdam.

A replay on the fictional Northgate Forum 2027, in three parts. First, what a sponsor sees: in her own sponsor portal, Sofia Berglund of Veltrax Logistics asks Penny whether they can bring their own stand builder, and Penny answers from the knowledge base and names the source, the stand rules. Sofia then asks whether they can fly a drone over the stand for a product demo. That is not in the knowledge base, so Penny says she will not guess and passes the question to the organisers. Second, what the organiser sees: the question waits on Home, and by email. The organiser clicks Answer and writes the answer in plain words. Penny checks it against the stand rules and proposes a new knowledge base entry and a reply to Sofia; nothing changes until the organiser approves, and one yes adds both. Last, back in Sofia's portal, the answer arrives in the same chat, and the next sponsor who asks gets it straight away.

Frequently asked questions

Can Penny change a sponsor's package or price?
No. Penny never changes money or entitlements. She says what she can do instead and records the request for you to decide.
What happens when Penny does not know the answer?
Penny says plainly when she cannot answer, asks before handing over and sends the question to your named person. The participant receives your answer, which can also become a knowledge base entry.
Will Penny email people without my approval?
Penny shows every recipient, the cap and the complete text of each personal chase before you say yes. Scheduled reminders can be paused and start only when you approve opening the sending gate.
Do delegates meet Penny too?
Yes. Penny answers all four audiences: sponsors, speakers, delegates and providers, each limited to what that person may see.
