OTI Sets New Record for Largest Audience Response System at Nobel Biocare Meeting

June 6, 2005, MGM Grand, Las Vegas, NV
- Option Technologies set a new record for the largest event ever conducted using a wireless audience response system at a single location. The “World Conference 2005” meeting for Nobel Biocare took place in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Arena and involved keypads for more than 8,100 participants.  Oral surgeons attending the event used advanced OptionFinder® IQ wireless keypads to participate in a continuing medical education program.

Richard Mitchell, Option Technologies Director of Operations, indicated that the firm "set a record for the most wireless keypads ever used at a single location anywhere in the
world."  Mitchell indicated, "We were set up for 10,500 participants and actually operated with 8,100 keypads during the event.  OTI had 21 members of our team on-site to make it happen.  It went off flawlessly.”

The OptionPower® software system, used in conjunction with the OptionFinder IQ hardware made it possible for every participant to instantly respond to interactive questions involving dental implant technology and surgical procedures.  The program involved live surgeries and clinical demonstrations beamed by satellite from Australia, Switzerland, Portugal, Belgium, Italy and the United States directly to the conference site in Las Vegas. 

Jason Gerlach, Option Technologies Director of Development served as the technical producer coordinating the hardware and software data collection and reporting components of the program.  Gerlach, who has been with the firm for six years indicated, "The range, speed and performance of our OptionFinder IQ hardware was tremendous.  We were able to cover the entire arena without any need for auxiliary antennas."  Gerlach said. "I’m really proud of our team.  OptionPower® software was able to tabulate and present polling results from the entire audience in less than 10 seconds.  We’ve set a new standard for large audience events."
