Our Mission

We empower life science companies to create better events that generate engagement and results.

SpotMe’s founders, the team behind Onomi, built an event platform to harness the power of audience engagement. But they didn’t stop there. They created Onomi to provide critical industries with secure, reliable, and tailored event management and engagement solutions.

Onomi’s mission is to help life science companies connect with HCPs, patients, and key stakeholders across all types of events – all while keeping to strict compliance and transparency standards.

what we do

We build event experience workflows for life sciences that lift and capture HCP engagement

Our event platform delivers compliant, end-to-end event management tailored to the life science industry. We help generate more engagement and integrate this data deeply into CRMs.

Life science organizations rely on events to accelerate relationships with HCPs and patients. Our event-centric customer engagement solution makes this possible by increasing HCP engagement, improving the event experience, and enriching CRM records with actionable data – all while delivering measurable impact from congresses and events at a lower cost.

In today’s evolving event landscape, where in-person, virtual, and on-demand interactions overlap, friction is inevitable. Our enterprise-grade event solution helps eliminate this complexity.

Our enterprise deployment and professional event services are first class. We guarantee a white-glove experience for your teams and audiences.
