Case Study: Ordre des CRHA achieves 89% event app adoption, 2K+ new member connections & a paperless event with Socio

How CRHA Got 89% Event App Adoption, Created 2K+ New Member Connections & Went Paperless

Ordre des CRHA, a nonprofit HR association with 11,000 members, faced the challenge of boosting networking at its annual Congrès RH, eliminating printed schedules, and preserving sponsor visibility. To meet these goals they partnered with Socio to deploy a ready-to-use event app that staff could set up without complex web integrations.

Socio’s app provided Shake & Connect networking, a digital agenda with interactive maps, push notifications, and sponsor banner ads to replace printed materials and increase sponsor ROI. The results were strong: 89% app adoption (922 of 1,034 attendees), 2,154 new connections (2.33 per attendee), 223:46 average app usage time, 13 push notifications sent, and prominent sponsor placements—helping Congrès RH go paperless while improving member engagement and sponsor visibility.
