Solving typical problems for event goers
As part of Qvik team, I took the challenge of designing the event companion app. Realising the great opportunity of reaching out to thousands of attendees. The event app was an design answer to event goers' frequent questions:
“What are the schedules?
Bookmarking and tracking events?
When and where are the most interested talks or pitches take place?
How can I navigate inside a massive event premises?
How can I connect with prospect partners and companies in real-time?”
Event schedule was a major part of the app, it was a side-way scrolling table with clear marking of duration, start and end time of each talk/pitch. From that user can easily bookmark and create a personal time table of his/her favourite events. There was also a live feed chat feature which enabled all attendees to communicate directly or en mass, view profile, view roles. Last but not least, indoor navigation solution helps people to find stages, food stands and entrances much easier.
Scalability and white label solution
In fact, the app was built as a white label product, therefore the UI need to be changed and adapted to any brand or visual style with minimal effort. Most of the components are plug and play.
The app has been downloaded over 10 000 times during the event period, available on iOS, Android, Windows Phone with high rating.
