Association Executives of North Carolina Improves Accessibility for Attendees Through Rozie Synopsis While Creating a Sense of FOMO Among Non-Attendees.

Executive Summary

The Association Executives of North Carolina (AENC) deployed Rozie Synopsis’s AI event experience platform for their Annual Meeting, featuring five keynote sessions. With keynotes and exhibitor booths sharing a fluid ballroom space, AENC used mobile closed captioning and instant AI recaps to keep attendees engaged on the go while strategically gating the post-event content to drive membership value and maximize FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) among non-members.

Challenge

AENC wanted to maximize the value of its Annual Meeting for attendees without sacrificing the security of its premium intellectual property. The team needed to overcome:

Fluid Environment

Attendees frequently stepped away from the main stage for networking or exhibitor meetings, missing critical educational content.

Accessibility Needs
Required highly accessible, unobtrusive closed captioning that didn't take up visual real estate on the main stage screens.

Premium Protection

As an association, they needed to ensure premium educational content remained an exclusive benefit for paid attendees.

Data Blindspots

Lacked actionable data on which keynotes truly resonated with their audience.

“Closed captioning was most important to us. Secondary, providing attendees with recaps that are manageable and directly from their phone was very valuable. So, yes, I would say we got the outcome we wanted.”

The Solution

Mobile app screen with event options: SISO Executive Women’s Forum, AI Session Summaries, Full Schedule, Speakers.

In-Room Event Experience

AENC integrated Rozie Synopsis via a frictionless, mobile-first web experience. Attendees easily accessed live closed captioning and running insights via QR codes on their personal devices, allowing them to step away from the stage without missing a beat.

Knowledge Hub

Post-event, AENC purposefully kept the comprehensive Knowledge Hub exclusive to paid attendees using a streamlined email capture system. By teasing AI-generated snippets publicly on social media but hiding the full session reports, they successfully maximized "FOMO" to highlight the value of paid event attendance. Furthermore, packaging direct links for the speakers empowered them to share their thought leadership easily with their own networks.

“It's hard to know during an event, especially when so many things are going on and pulling attention... to know who's engaging. And that's why I really like the analytics piece of this... There's nothing like raw data to know how things went.”

Impact

AENC's Annual Meeting delivered a highly engaging, accessible experience that translated directly into actionable post-event data.
