Eventleaf How To Guides

Why Customize the Event App

Let's be honest: a generic event app is fine, but a customized one is what actually gets used. The Eventleaf Attendee App, also called the Event App or the Guide App, is already doing the heavy lifting for you - improving efficiency, simplifying access to content, and helping people actually talk to each other.

But when you take a few minutes to tweak the settings, you turn a generic tool into a branded experience - one that your attendees will like and remember. Based on your attendees' needs and preferences, you can control exactly what they see, from the schedule to the speaker list, creating an environment that encourages networking and engagement.

Here is the simple, step-by-step guide to adjusting the Attendee app to suit your specific event.

  2. Practical Use Cases

    Not sure which toggles to flip? Here are a few common scenarios to help you decide how to set up the app for your specific event.

  3. The Networking Booster

    If your main goal is getting people to talk to each other, you want to loosen the reins on the Attendee List.

    • The Setup: Configure the list to show not just names, but "Job Title" and "Company" directly on the main view.
    • The Result: Attendees can scroll through and immediately spot valuable connections without having to click into every single profile. It removes the friction from networking.

  4. The Sponsored Trade Show

    You have sponsors who paid good money for visibility. The Dashboard Banner is your best friend here.

    • The Setup: Switch the banner setting from "Text" to "Image" and upload a graphic that features your top-tier sponsor's logo alongside your event branding.
    • The Result: Every time an attendee opens the app to check the schedule, that sponsor gets a prime impression. You can also enable Exhibitor Ratings so you can report back to vendors on who had the most engaging booths.

  5. The Internal Training Seminar

    For internal corporate events, branding matters less than data.

    • The Setup: Turn on Session Ratings and Speaker Ratings.
    • The Result: You get immediate, honest feedback on which training modules resonated and which ones put the room to sleep. This data is gold when you are planning next quarter's curriculum.
