The story

Founded in 2012 as an audience-response and polling tool for live conferences, Conferences i/o found durable product-market fit inside the NASBA-regulated CPE (continuing professional education) market, where its attendance tracking is certified compliant with Group Live and Group Internet Based standards. It was acquired by LCvista in March 2024 and is now positioned as the 'Attendance & Engagement' module of LCvista's broader learning & compliance platform for accounting firms. The product does not touch money movement — it is pure engagement/compliance SaaS.
