At any event, whether it’s a conference, summit, or networking meetup, the real value lies in the connections participants make. Our event app is designed with that in mind—helping attendees engage, connect, and stay informed in real time. Here are four standout features that make it all possible:
Publish Attendee List
Including an attendee list in your conference app is more than just a convenience feature—it’s a powerful way to enhance connections, engagement, and the overall value of your event. By making it easy to see who is attending, you empower participants to be intentional about their networking and to get more out of the experience.
With an attendee list, participants can discover and connect with peers, speakers, or exhibitors who share their interests, goals, or professional backgrounds. Instead of waiting for chance encounters, they can reach out directly, or prepare questions in advance. This creates more meaningful conversations, encourages active participation during sessions, and helps attendees feel more invested in the event.
When people know who will be in the room, it builds trust and encourages collaboration. Attendees are more likely to engage openly when they see familiar names, industry colleagues, or potential partners on the list. And the value doesn’t stop at the close of the conference—having access to attendee information fosters relationships that can extend long after the event, strengthening your community and increasing the likelihood of return participation.
Posts and Feeds for Engagement
Attendees can share their interests, insights, and photos on a conference social wall, creating a dynamic stream of content throughout the event. Posts may highlight conference sessions, key takeaways, or interesting moments attendees experience.
When participants contribute, others with similar interests can engage by commenting, starting conversations, or simply liking the posts. Personalized channels—such as General, Business, or Networking—can be set up to reflect the event’s theme or audience.
To boost interaction even further, posts can be incorporated into gamification features, turning engagement into a fun and rewarding experience.
Instant Chat for Private Conversations
A 1:1 private chat feature gives attendees a direct and personal way to connect during the event. Instead of relying solely on chance meetings or group discussions, participants can reach out privately to introduce themselves, share interests, or set up a time to meet in person. This helps break down barriers and makes networking more approachable.
For organizers, private chat adds structure and accessibility to networking. Attendees can easily connect with speakers, exhibitors, or peers without needing to exchange personal contact details. This controlled environment makes it simple to foster connections while keeping communication secure within the app.
Beyond the event itself, 1:1 chat extends the value of participation. Attendees can follow up on conversations, share resources, and continue building professional relationships long after the conference ends. This not only enhances the attendee experience but also strengthens the event’s role as a hub for ongoing community and collaboration.
Broadcast Messages via Push Notifications
Event organizers need a reliable and immediate way to keep everyone informed, and push notifications provide just that. Unlike emails or printed schedules, which can be overlooked, push notifications appear directly on attendees’ mobile devices. This ensures that important information—whether logistical details or program highlights—reaches participants right when they need it.
With push notifications, you can broadcast timely updates such as room changes, schedule adjustments, or reminders for networking sessions and receptions. Attendees don’t have to worry about constantly checking agendas or missing updates announced in passing. This real-time communication helps the event flow smoothly and reduces confusion, especially during larger conferences with multiple tracks and sessions.
Beyond logistics, push notifications also serve as an engagement tool. Organizers can highlight keynote speakers, promote sponsor activities, or encourage participation in live polls and surveys. By delivering the right message at the right moment, notifications not only keep attendees in the loop but also drive deeper involvement, creating a more interactive and memorable event experience.
With features like attendee lists, posts, and instant notifications, in-app communication keeps everyone informed and connected. Organizers can share timely updates, while attendees enjoy seamless ways to network and participate, ensuring a smoother and more engaging event experience.
