Thanks to event apps, your event is no longer limited to one venue. An event app is the perfect solution for connecting remote attendees from all over the world, and when accompanied by the following, the opportunities are endless!
The live streaming event app takeover is undeniable, now all your special events can be broadcasted! Live streaming is a really valuable tool for events of all sizes. Large events such as Coachella, who’s livestream attracted 9 million views, generate an even broader audience whilst interest increases for your next event. However, it works brilliantly for smaller events with an attendance cap too, you can maintain an intimate experience while reaching a broad audience.
As well as this, all live footage can be repurposed to tease and promote future events!
