An Event App from Webex Events is a digital space where in-person attendees can find information about your event, such as where sessions and exhibitors are located in the venue and details about speakers and sponsors. For virtual attendees, the Event App is a digital venue where they attend live streams, network with one another, and interact with your Event App content.

With an Event App from Webex Events, you can provide a seamless and engaging digital experience while fostering sponsorship opportunities, brand loyalty, attendee networking, and more!

Digital guide

An Event App puts a live schedule of your event at attendees' fingertips, plus many features designed to inform, direct, engage, and delight. With the Agenda feature, create a rich, detailed schedule of your event with live or pre-recorded video, chat, Q&A, polling, and custom embedded content in each Session. Attendees can add Sessions to build their own personal agenda, take notes, keep track of one-on-one meetings with their connections, and even export their agenda to their phone calendar.

The interactive and dynamic Maps feature makes it easy for your attendees to get where they need to go. Link sessions, sponsors, speakers, exhibitors, and other items to locations for easy reference.

Networking

The Event App attendee profile acts as a "digital business card". With a filterable attendee list, attendees can effortlessly network with those who share their interests.

Using the revolutionary Shake & Connect feature, attendees simply shake their phones, discover who's around them, and send connection requests with the tap of a button. It's as easy as a handshake! 🤝

Your attendees can chat with the connections they make right inside the Event App. In the web version and the Mobile App, attendees can set up one-on-one text or video chats, or create group chats. The person who starts a group chat or video call can invite anyone they're connected to, whether the invitees are connected to one another or not. 👍

Exchanging photos, scheduling meetings, and using video chat are simple! Our Attendee Networking with Webex Events article gives an overview of all the ways attendees can connect and interact with each other in your Event App.

Engagement

Give attendees a social feed that acts as your event's own social network. The Wall feature lets Event App users post pictures, comments, and "like" discussion threads within the wall. This private social space makes it easy for you to build community within and around your event.

Use our Polling and Q&A features to collect and showcase questions and insights from attendees. Use a Custom Tab to embed Slido, Miro, and more in the web version and link them to the Mobile App experience.

Events are at their best when they bring people together and inspire them to engage. The Game feature helps you accomplish both. Start by rewarding attendees for what they already do, like checking in. Build game challenges that drive sponsor engagement, session attendance, and other ROI-positive behaviors.
