The app kept current, not exported once
Accepted sessions, rooms and presenters updated in the app whenever they change in OpenWater, with removed ones removed.
OpenWater integrations
OpenWater integrations that keep the app current after the export.
OpenWater runs your abstracts, awards and speaker tasks, and its advice for the mobile app is a one-time export near the end of the cycle. Every accepted change after that lives in two places. We keep the app, the registration system and the member record in step with OpenWater as things change, and we make its metered API worth using.
Sound familiar?
Exported in June. Wrong by August.
The abstracts export went to the app vendor in June. Every accepted change since then lives in two places, and the room list in OpenWater no longer matches the app. Meanwhile the speaker rate depends on a member status that lives in another system.
- You exported once and now you update the app by hand.
- The API costs extra and is metered, so nobody built anything on it.
- Your membership system knows they are members. OpenWater knows they presented. Nobody joins the two.
- The speaker rate depends on a status that lives somewhere else.
We live in your world
We know how OpenWater organizes a program.
Everything is an application in a program, applications move through rounds and judges, and accepted ones carry scheduling fields for start, end and room. OpenWater’s API is paid and metered by the call, with webhooks for changes, so we design around the meter: listen for changes, batch the rest, and never poll for the sake of it.
Where OpenWater’s own connectors stop
OpenWater connects to iMIS, GrowthZone, Novi, Salesforce-based membership systems and a few apps, and it recommends a one-time export for most mobile apps. If your program is final when you export, that works. We come in when changes keep coming, when your app or registration system is not on the list, when member status must set the speaker rate, and when presenter history needs to land on the member record.

How we do it
Common OpenWater integrations
Presenters registered at the right rate
Accepted presenters created in your registration system with the speaker rate, using member status from your membership system.
Presenter and award history on the member record
Acceptances, presentations and awards recorded in your membership system against the right member.
Awards and applications in your CRM
Applicants and winners on the contact in HubSpot or Salesforce for follow-up and sponsorship.
What done looks like
A room change in OpenWater is in the app that afternoon, presenters are registered at the right rate, and the member record shows what each person presented.
How every project starts
We start with a free consultation - about two hours of discovery kicking off with a 30-minute call. We map out where your data lives, the business rules your event follows, and what your IT team will need to see. You keep that document whether you hire us or not.
If you do hire us, a first integration is typically $3,500 to $7,500, and reusing it for your next event costs 40 to 90 percent less. No subscription. No annual contract.
Money back guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with the integration, we’ll refund you.
