The Challenge

What we were up against

Event organizers relied on fragmented tools for registration, scheduling, and attendee communication - creating data silos and requiring manual coordination across platforms before, during, and after events.

Attendee onboarding was a friction point. Requiring app downloads at the venue entrance caused long registration lines and lost engagement, particularly for one-day events where the download-to-value ratio was poor.

Post-event feedback was collected via email surveys days later, when attendees had already disengaged - resulting in low response rates and stale feedback that was too late to act on.

What We Built

Our approach

Built native Kotlin (Android) and Swift (iOS) apps with QR code sign-ups - attendees scan a code at the venue and are immediately onboarded with no download links, no app store friction. This alone increased sign-up completion by 20%.

Step 2

Created personalized schedules that let attendees bookmark...

Created personalized schedules that let attendees bookmark sessions, receive time-based reminders, and discover recommended talks based on their interests and role - reducing "what's next?" confusion at multi-track events.

Step 3

Designed real-time announcement and push notification...

Designed real-time announcement and push notification systems so organizers can communicate room changes, schedule updates, and alerts to all attendees or specific segments instantly.

Step 4

Built session rating and review functionality accessible...

Built session rating and review functionality accessible during and immediately after sessions, capturing feedback while the experience is fresh and giving speakers scores they can act on.

Frequently asked questions about this project

Organizers display QR codes at registration desks, banners, or screens. Attendees scan with their phone camera and are taken directly to a sign-up flow - no app download required. The system captures their details, generates a personalized agenda, and sends a confirmation. This removes app store friction and reduces registration time to under 30 seconds.
