The Event App That Isn’t Just an App

Let’s cut the crap — no one’s downloading a new app for a one-day business event. Not your execs. Not your sponsors. Not your attendees. That’s why we built the Progressive Event App (PEA): a fast, no-download, no-hassle experience that lives in the browser and works instantly on every device. One link. Zero friction. Full control. From schedules and speakers to networking and real-time updates — it’s everything an event app should be, minus the bloated nonsense. And best of all? It’s already included.

📉 Nobody Downloads It

Most Apps Die on the Homescreen

With millions of apps out there, yours doesn’t stand a chance. Most attendees won’t install anything for a one-day event.

🧩 Clunky from the First Tap

Setup Feels Like a Chore

Logins, updates, forgotten passwords — all before they see a single agenda item. Engagement dies before it begins.

🧊 Cold, Awkward, Forgettable

Engagement Dies on Impact

Bad UX kills connection. Attendees check out, sponsors get ignored, and your event feels like a missed opportunity.

💸 You Paid to Embarrass Yourself

Thousands Spent, Zero ROI

You blew the budget on an app nobody used — and ended up back at the printer, explaining glitches to VIPs.

So, what's the alternative?

Presso's Progressive Event App (PEA©) eliminates downloads, streamlines setup, and enhances engagement — all without the bloated costs. It's time to leave the outdated, ineffective event apps behind and embrace a solution designed for today's event organisers and attendees.

The App is included. No add-ons. No paywalls. Just everything you need, already there.

✨ Why PEA Isn’t Just Another App


Everything You Need. Nothing You Don’t.

Most apps are bloated, outdated, and built for someone else’s problems. The PEA is different — because it was built from the ground up for modern, in-person business events. No downloads. No passwords. Just one sleek, browser-based experience that launches instantly and actually gets used. Attendees get the full agenda, speaker profiles, live updates, networking tools, sponsor visibility, and check-in — all in one link. You get control, adoption, and zero technical faff. It’s what every event app should have been — and somehow, no one else built.

📲 99% Attendee Adoption

No Downloads = No Drop-Off

One link. Any device. Instant access. When it just works, people actually use it — which means higher engagement, more value, and no tech headaches.

⚡️ Live in Minutes

From Zero to Event-Ready — Fast

You send us your agenda and assets — we send you a fully working app the same day. No devs. No dashboards. No delays.

💼 Built-In for Business

Everything You Need, Nothing You Don’t

Schedules, speakers, networking, live polls, check-in, sponsor banners — it’s all in the box. And it just works, out of the gate.

💚 Greener by Design

No Paper. No Waste. No Guilt.

The PEA© replaces printed programmes, updates, and signage — cutting paper waste while boosting your event’s sustainability story.

Ready to Ditch the Downloads?

Stop paying for apps nobody opens. The Progressive Event App is faster to launch, easier to use, and already included in your plan. No tiers. No lock-in. Just one powerful tool that makes your event better — instantly.

PEA© is automatically included in every Presso setup — no downloads, no extra fees, no compromises.

📲💡 Built for Speed

What Is a PEA? The Progressive Event App That Just Works

Presso's PEA© isn't your typical event app. It's a Progressive Web App (PWA) designed specifically for events — which means no downloads, no app stores, and no technical faff. Just one link that works instantly on any device.

“Presso was super simple to use yet so effective, the user experience was very accessible and it saved time on the usual pre-conference networking 'homework' that I needed to do. It was particularly good for moments where you may forget the name of someone you had just spoken to and ensures you have their details on hand for a follow up afterwards.”
