At CrowdComms we taken pride in supporting our event clients with all aspects of delivering the best conference apps – from the build of your app and event content management to onsite helpdesk staff and conference live polling technicians. Our app won ‘Best Event App’ at the Event Technology Awards in 2016, and the mobile conference app has developed a lot since then.
A mobile event app is a software application designed to run on mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, to enhance the experience of attendees and organizers at events, conferences, meetings, or trade shows. These apps leverage the capabilities of mobile devices to provide a range of features and functionalities that streamline event management, boost attendee engagement, and facilitate communication.
A cutting-edge mobile app can be the linchpin that transforms a regular event into an unforgettable experience.
As technology continues to evolve in 2024, event apps have become indispensable for both event organizers and attendees, streamlining the entire event lifecycle and enhancing attendee engagement.
But what features make up the best event app? We have been an event app builder since 2015, and has delivered thousands of events; we know the essential features that make an event app stand out, setting the stage for event organizers to reach their event goals.
A seamless user experience is the cornerstone of any successful event or conferences app. Navigating through schedules, maps, and features should be intuitive, ensuring that organizers and attendees can make the most of the application effortlessly.
The ability to tailor the event experience to individual preferences is a game-changer. Robust event apps allow users to create personalized agendas, receive relevant notifications, and stay informed about sessions, speakers, and activities that align with their interests.
Events are dynamic, and last-minute changes are inevitable. An event app should provide real-time updates, ensuring that all stakeholders have the latest information at their fingertips. Whether it’s a shift in the schedule, a change in venue, or an exciting addition to the program, staying current is crucial.
One of the primary reasons people attend events is for networking opportunities. A robust event app facilitates networking by allowing attendees to connect with other participants, schedule meetings, and exchange contact information. Features like in-app messaging and attendee directories foster meaningful connections.
Navigating large venues can be challenging, especially for first-time attendees. Conference and event apps with interactive maps or those that incorporate beacon technology, make locating sessions, exhibitor booths, and amenities easy for participants, contributing to a smoother and more enjoyable event experience.
As we explore our recent event application in detail, you’ll discover how it incorporates and elevates these essential features, setting a new standard for seamless and engaging event experiences.
It’s so easy to use our event app platform for any type of event on any device, mobile or desktop.
Whether via your web browser or native event app download, simple access and an intuitive user experience are assured. Our apps are developed with accessibility at their core, ensuring your attendees can log in and access mobile conference information with supreme ease.
Our web app is fully responsive to all device sizes and desktop screens and compatible with all the latest browsers.
In event management, where meticulous coordination and attendee engagement are paramount, event organizers find themselves relying on technology more than ever and it’s where their app for events comes into its own. An event platform can be a game-changer, offering a myriad of benefits that not only streamline the planning process but also enhance the overall success of the event.
Here are compelling reasons why every event organizer should consider integrating an app into their event strategy:
To create the ultimate event experience, our event app is one of the most feature-rich solutions you’ll find to create attendee engagement at your next event.
Transform your audience from passive spectators to active contributors. Launch polls, open surveys and invite questions from the audience that can be addressed by presenters in real-time. CrowdComms’ conference app is designed to keep your attendees engaged.
Give your attendees instant access to all of your event content – agendas, documents, abstract library, videos, speaker presentations, handouts and more.
Enhance face-to-face discussions by allowing attendees to make targeted and meaningful connections via our advanced attendee networking features. Attendees can create and customise their own digital business cards and exchange them when they want to – pre, during or post-event.
Set up triggers, challenges, and leaderboards to incentivise your audience. Assign points to challenges to encourage the actions most important to you. Give kudos and encourage friendly competition by projecting the live leaderboard on screens at the venue and on the event app itself.
Our personalised schedules will make your attendees feel like the event was curated just for them. Tailor content by attendee type and decide when it should be made available. For multiple streams, attendees can personalise their agenda ahead of the event to ensure they attend sessions of most interest to them on the day.
Multiple tracks across multiple days, different cohorts within different rotations – fear not, our platform is developed with all of this in mind. We have the ability to manage the most complex agendas with ‘on now’, list view, calendar view and personalised schedules set up by either the attendee or the content admin.
Accurate navigation around a large exhibition hall, dispersed plenary or breakout rooms are key to a good event experience. Our interactive maps and wayfinding offer exactly that, along with indicators for one-way systems and social distancing. Maps and wayfinding can be linked directly to sessions and exhibitor booths so it’s as easy as can be for attendees to get to where they want to go.
The ease and convenience of our lead capture tool turns exhibitors’ mobile devices into lead scanners, operating both on and offline. Linked to live attendee data, exhibitors quickly capture, manage and export leads for immediate or post-event follow-up.
Help your sponsors achieve meaningful connections with your audience. From home screen co-branding to rotating banners; custom attendee notifications to detailed reporting, the CrowdComms event app delivers the high-visibility branding and comprehensive data your sponsors will keep coming back for.
Track, monitor and manage session attendance at your event. Generate records of attendance for everything from safety, catering, CPD, sponsored or mandatory sessions to digital passports and competitions.
Last-minute changes needn’t be a headache. Whether it’s a schedule change or unexpected cancellation, our push notifications and pop-up messages mean your attendees will always be up-to-date.
You’ll have access to a comprehensive analytics dashboard for on-demand access to your event app stats. Session attendance, Q&A responses, evaluation feedback or document downloads, you’ll find everything you need within your event platform dashboard.
Working with us allows you to get creative and push the boundaries. You’d like your attendees to order coffee in the app? Let’s do it. Your in-house design team wants to design a custom home screen? Jump on a call with one of our developers so we can hear what you need.
