So in this blog, we will have a glimpse at several aspects like vital features of the event apps, and their pricing. But before that, we will have a quick look at the key reasons behind the popularity of these apps. Let’s begin.

Push Notifications and Data Synchronization

Like other apps, push notifications are one of the most useful features available in the event apps too. These notifications help in informing the attendees of the event details well in advance and also remind them a day before the events. Besides, the data synchronization with the server, it enables informing the attendees regarding any modifications in the event program, time, schedule, location, etc. in real-time.

Maps and Geolocation Tracking

This feature helps the attendees to aptly reach the location of the event.

Besides marking the event location in the integrated map, you can also do the following:

Calendar and Planner for Schedule

It is of utmost importance to display the details of the event program in the calendar and add them to the schedule. This feature is immensely important for users to remain informed of the event. Also, the planner i.e. customizable notification system will ensure that the users won’t miss any program.

Event Preview

Several people will decide on whether or not to attend the event based on the final preview of the event. So, the event preview should include some interesting content that resonates with the target audience and allures them to participate.

News Feed

The basic purpose of every mobile event or conference app is to inform and entertain its audience and ‘News Feed’ can help to do this well. It also helps to keep the users of the app updated with the latest news or modifications about the events or other important announcements. Besides, this feature enables the organizers to share event photos, videos, interviews, ads, etc. for keeping the users excited about the event.

Networking Ability

Most of the time, the attendees are looking for developing networks through an event, especially corporate events. Rather, networking and building contacts are some of the major reasons why professionals attend events. So, the app must allow the attendees to freely connect, chat and share content with others. At the same time, make sure that spam or unnecessary sales pitches are avoided.

Ticket Booking

This is a powerful feature that can be used for better event planning for participants and monetization purposes as well. The in-built ticket booking feature of the event app saves the participants from the efforts like finding tickets from other sites or offline locations, printing tickets, payments, etc. All this can be done easily through the app.

List of Speakers

For a mobile conference app, it is a must to add a list of speakers, especially when the events are corporate and could include open-air lectures or so. Technically speaking, integrating this feature is not much difficult. A single-screen needs to be added that has the speakers’ details, photo elements, text, social media links, etc.

Ratings and Feedback

Reviews, ratings, and real-time feedback by the attendees are essential for every budding event planner or event app owner. It helps to get insights for improvement of the app as well as particular events that were organized using the app. By using this feature, the participants can chat in real-time with the speakers or experts in the events and rate them too.

Architecting an impactful event app is no easy task. It depends on a plethora of factors like types and numbers of features to be integrated into the app, location of the development firm, experience of event app developers, app platform, API integrations, app security measures, UI/UX design, devices that the app supports, usage of smartphone hardware, support and maintenance requirements, and much more.

The event industry has witnessed immense advancement in the last few years. Besides, since the year 2020, since the outbreak of the Covid-19 Pandemic, all types of events, big or small, are being carried out virtually. New-age techniques are being utilized to host the events successfully. Owing to this, several innovative event app trends have emerged and are making the events more interactive, engaging, and dynamic.

So, what are these trends? How are these trends impacting the event industry? Why should the event app owners or the event development services keep pace with these trends? In this blog, we are going to look at these trends and related aspects. So, without much ado, let’s begin.

Optimizing the user experience is a MUST. This can be done by ensuring that the app content is highly relevant and engaging. For this, the app should possess content like the schedule of the events, contact information, directions of the events, speaker details/biographies, etc. Also, the user experience can be elevated by ensuring consistent styling throughout the app, using graphics or HD images in the app, etc.

Your event app is the representation of your event business and hence, it should be branded accordingly. Pick the logo, fonts, styles, etc. wisely. Using color palettes that will be visually impactful is also quite essential for the app. Furthermore, all the app elements should be consistent with each other. Lastly, certain guidelines must be followed by every event application development company during its development to meet the standards of the app.

Virtual event applications are trending nowadays but, this feature is not yet much compatible with current platforms when it comes to matching with live engagement. There are a few other challenges too, like the untested solutions, no support, no integration, cost concerns, etc. But, these virtual apps are quite beneficial. They can help in expanding the customers, increasing the revenue, tracking vital data, promotional purposes, etc.

This is a new and innovative trend that comes with huge potential. It helps a big time in improving registration processes and app security. It streamlines the participation in events and reduces wait timings to some extent. Besides, for physical events, facial recognition in the event applications acts as a check-in tool. It’s a contactless and secure way for event attendees to check in the events.

These features are meant to improve user engagement. These can also be used for fun purposes during the events. It will engage the users and make them feel they are important and their views matter. You can gather real-time insights using the poll answers and live surveys and this data can be used for the enhancement of the app.

Projection mapping technique is becoming quite popular amongst event planners nowadays. Projection mapping or Hologram is used for an in-depth understanding of content and then for higher user engagement. This trend enhances extra dimensions, optical illusions, and 3D movement, etc. Besides this, another technique called table projection mapping can be utilized in events for personalization, branding, story-telling, etc. Also, this technique helps to show pre-recorded presentations to the participants. Speakers from any corner of the world can deliver their presentations while not being physically present at the venue.

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) experiences have been impacting the event industry quite a lot in recent years. AR is used for grabbing the attention of attendees and motivating them to interact within the event. This technology has the ability to enhance the user experience, and result in increased media attention, more engagement, social media shares, etc. VR helps to create a computer-generated 3D world for the app users that makes the app much appealing.

These advanced technologies have influenced almost every existing industrial sector and the event industry is no exception. AI-powered programs collect the live event data and these programs are based on preferences, activity, behavioral data of the attendees, etc. This is real-time data and can be quickly altered or modified depending on the interest of attendees. AI chatbots can be used for interacting with attendees and answer their queries. Also, both these technologies can help the app owners to conduct multiple sessions, and deliver a powerful experience to the remote attendees.

The live streaming feature is already being used on a large scale in countless apps. The live streaming events attract a huge number of people in real-time. These are more lively, authentic, and connecting and so, they get a much better response from the users. Using this feature, Q&A sessions can be extended during the live events, there can be group chats, the users can raise a hand, provide feedback, and similar engaging activities can be carried out.

While hosting an event, beacons can be placed around the event location for the creation of an interactive network for the online attendees using the event app. These beacons help in several important tasks like attendee tracking, online check-ins, proximity marketing, etc. This technology can also be useful in monitoring the floor plan flow in the events.

Event professionals and also the event mobile app development companies all across the globe will remember the year 2021 as a transforming year for this industry. Several effective event app trends have emerged during this period benefitting the app owners and the related community. We have enlisted most of these trends in this blog.
