9 Smart Ways to Use Your Event App to Get the Most Out of Your Event
1. Register Early and Get Into the App ASAP
Early access = early advantage. The sooner you’re in the app, the more time you have to book meetings, plan your schedule, and scope out who’s attending.
2. Complete and Optimise Your ProfileAdd a photo, bio, and your company details. Most event networking apps use matchmaking algorithms or filters - so a clear profile helps others find and choose you.
3. Turn On NotificationsApp notifications alert you to new meetings, session changes, and pop-up opportunities. Don’t miss your moment because you missed a ping.
4. Learn How Meeting Requests WorkUnderstand how long requests stay active, how reminders work, and how attendees receive them. Respond quickly to secure high-value conversations.
5. Build a Personalised AgendaBookmark sessions, confirmed meetings, and social events. A well-structured calendar helps you stay on track and lets others see when you’re available.
6. Sign Up for Small Group Sessions EarlyRoundtables, workshops, and meetups usually have limited spots. Get in early to join the discussions that matter most to you.
7. Use the Event MapWhether you're onsite or hybrid, knowing the layout saves time. Most event apps include venue maps and navigation features.
8. Keep the App Open During the EventReal-time updates, last-minute meeting requests, live polls, and announcements all flow through the app. Stay active in it throughout the day.
9. Follow Up After the EventMany apps stay live for a week or more after the event. Use that window to message new contacts, send thank-yous, or suggest next steps before the platform closes.
