How to Encourage Attendees to Use Your Event Networking App

How to Encourage Attendees to Use Your Event Networking App

Increasing the use of your event networking app is more than simply a benefit; it's the secret to a more seamless, intelligent, and interconnected event experience. Even while the finest event apps for conferences have a ton of capabilities, it's when people use them that the true magic happens.

At Amego, we've personally witnessed how careful communication, user-friendly design, and a little AI assistance can transform your event app into the focal point of interaction and connection. Here's how to urge attendees to include your app into their event experience, along with a real world example.

Lead With the Value

Attendees need to know why the app matters, Sidekick makes it clear that it’s the easiest way to, personalize their agenda, discover must see sessions, connect with the right people, get real time updates and navigate the venue without stress.

Engagement Starts Before The Event

Don’t wait until attendees walk onsite to introduce your event networking app. Build momentum early by creating a conference app with key tools features, session recommendations, pre event networking prompts, personalized content teasers and push notifications that spark curiosity. Attendees who use tools like Sidekick receive smart recommendations as soon as they launch the app, making it immediately helpful.

Make Connection Happen In App

If networking matters at your event, make the app the place where it happens. Centralizing interactions encourages repeat use. Think about tools like, in app messaging, meeting scheduling, matchmaking, and topic based conversations.

When your attendees realize the most valuable interactions live in the app, adoption naturally climbs.

Showcase the Features That Make the Experience Better

Your event application does more than display a schedule. Highlight the features that drive real value like, AI-powered recommendations, personalized agendas, interactive maps, real time alerts, sponsor discovery, and onsite guidance.

When attendees see how these tools simplify their day, they keep coming back.

Promote It On Site (Everywhere)

Some guests wait until they arrive, despite effective pre-event messaging. With QR codes at registration, slide reminders throughout general sessions, staff trained to onboard attendees, and signs throughout the venue, installing the app will be simple.

Prompts that are repeated and clear reduce friction and can increase usage on the first day.

Use AI to Keep Attendees Coming Back

AI isn’t just a trend; it’s changing the way attendees experience events. Intelligent nudges keep people engaged, informed, and excited.

A Real Example From the Amego Community

As soon as attendees arrived at a recent Amego-powered international conference, Sidekick offered personalized recommendations. Immediate outcomes included an increase in agenda completion, a noticeable boost in networking connections, and a decline in help desk questions about "where to go next."

Attendees quickly realized that the app was their guide to the event rather than just a tool and is the best mobile event app for conferences.

Make Engagement Fun

One of the simplest strategies to encourage recurring use is gamification. Include features like leaderboards, awards for networking, points for attending sessions, and scavenger hunts.

When it comes to forming habits and increasing general participation, small rewards can make a big difference.

TL;DR

Clear messaging, significant value, and an intuitive design are the key to getting attendees to use your AI event app. The attendee experience is transformed and moments that feel seamless, intimate, and unforgettable are created when you combine those components with the intelligence of an AI event app.
