Event tech has lost the plot.
Everyone’s building features. Nobody’s building sense.
We’ve seen this before: the AI matchmaker, the chatbot concierge, the smart map with animated footfall heat zones. All singing. All dancing. All distractions.
Here’s what your attendees actually want:
- The agenda
- Their peers
- A way to connect
- Then? To be left alone
Simplicity isn’t minimalism. It’s strategy.
- It means saying no to the noise, fast.
- It means shipping what matters, then listening.
- It means resisting the feature race so you can lead, not follow.
We’ve built more event apps than we care to count. The best ones had one thing in common: focus.
Because if your app can’t tell the attendee what’s happening and where to go next — nothing else matters.
Smart is simple. Simple is scale.
