Building the Event Planning Features

Organizing an event can be a daunting task, but with the right event app, you can make the process easier for both event organizers and attendees. Now that we've covered the design elements that will make your event app visually appealing, let's dive into the features you'll need to add to make your event app a success.

Creating an Event Calendar

The core of any event app is, of course, the event calendar. Attendees should have access to the event schedule, including presentation info, keynote speakers, and session times. Make sure this information is easily accessible and that your event app calendar includes filtering options. You can also consider adding a feature that allows attendees to create their own personalized schedules, so they can easily keep track of the sessions and events they want to attend.

Another great feature to add to your event calendar is the ability to provide additional information about each session or event. This can include details such as the speaker's bio, the topic of the session, and any relevant links or resources. By providing this information, attendees can make informed decisions about which sessions to attend and get the most out of your event.

Managing Event Details

In addition to the schedule, your event app should feature pertinent event information, including venue information and maps, such as park and ride or public transport access nearby. This information can help attendees plan their travel and ensure they arrive at the event on time. You can also consider adding a feature that allows attendees to easily navigate the venue, such as an interactive map or directions to different areas of the event.

Keep attendees updated via push notifications or alerts, which helps ensure that they don't miss any critical updates or changes in the schedule. This can include reminders about upcoming sessions, changes to the schedule, or important announcements such as last-minute speaker additions or cancellations.

Integrating Ticketing and Registration

Perhaps the most important feature of your event app is the ticketing and registration system. Attendees should be able to buy tickets, make changes to their attendance status, and receive digital admission codes all through the app. Consider partnering with a ticketing platform or integrating with an existing CRM tool to make attendees' registration process as seamless as possible.

Another great feature to add to your ticketing and registration system is the ability to provide attendees with personalized recommendations based on their interests. By analyzing attendee data, such as session attendance and profile information, you can suggest sessions and events that are most relevant to each attendee. This can help attendees make the most of their time at your event and ensure they have a positive experience.

In conclusion, building a successful event app requires careful consideration of the features that will make the app both useful and engaging for attendees. By including features such as an event calendar, managing event details, and integrating ticketing and registration, you can create an app that will help attendees get the most out of your event and keep them coming back year after year.
