Tired of drowning in paper at events? It’s time to go digital! At Coast to Coast Conferences & Events (CTC), we’ve embraced event apps as a game-changing tool that enhances attendee engagement, streamlines operations and promotes sustainability.
Here’s why event apps are creating a buzz in the industry and how you can make the most of them.
Transform Attendee Engagement
Event apps act as a digital hub, giving attendees instant access to all event-related information. From detailed agendas and speaker bios to interactive maps and real-time updates, these apps ensure attendees stay informed and engaged throughout the event.
Features like:
- Live Polling and Q&A: Enable real-time interaction between speakers and attendees.
- Networking Tools: Foster meaningful connections through digital contact exchanges and chat capabilities.
By transforming attendees from passive spectators into active participants, event apps create more immersive and impactful experiences.
Reducing Waste and Promoting Sustainability
Event apps aren’t just about convenience—they’re also a step toward eco-friendly event planning. By digitizing materials such as agendas, handouts, and surveys, organizers can drastically reduce paper consumption and other resource waste.
Key Sustainability Benefits of Event Apps:
- Lower Carbon Footprint: Digital tracking of attendance and preferences reduces environmental impact.
- Reduced Resource Use: No need for printed materials or excessive signage.
At CTC, we’ve seen firsthand how adopting event apps aligns with sustainability goals while modernizing the attendee experience.
One of our recent clients always printed a 100-page 4-color program at an annual cost of $15k. They finally agreed to use an event app and not only did it save them $10k but the information could be updated at any time… Infinite changes & live updates!
How to Get Started with Event Apps
Implementing an event app is easier than you think. Here’s how to get started:
- Define Your Goals: Identify the specific needs of your event and what you want to achieve with the app.
