How smart spaces and real-time strategy transformed ASCO® 2025

August 19, 2025 | Congress, Inizio, oncology

Nick Bellomo, Director of Technology and Engagement, Inizio Medical

ASCO® 2025 wasn’t just about oncology breakthroughs – it was also a showcase for how technology is redefining congress engagement. Supporting dozens of clients with hundreds of deliverables, Inizio had a front-row seat to innovations that are reshaping how healthcare professionals (HCPs) learn and interact.

Highlights from the floor:

  • LED walls reimagined: Once static displays, LED walls are now interactive storytelling tools. From gesture-responsive MOAs to live trial dashboards, these experiences empowered HCPs to navigate content at their own pace, boosting engagement and driving more meaningful conversations.

  • Real-time in-booth analytics: Inizio piloted offline analytics that delivered live insights without internet dependency. This allowed brands to refine content mid-show, optimize staff alignment, and deliver more targeted education – all during the congress, not weeks later.

Why it matters:
These shifts mark a broader transformation: moving from passive storytelling to responsive engagement, and from delayed insights to real-time adaptability. For HCPs, this means richer, more relevant learning. For brands, it means smarter strategies and more impactful outcomes.

At Inizio, the booth is no longer just a backdrop – it’s a catalyst for strategic engagement and patient-focused progress.
