Building anticipation and excitement is a key ingredient for your next successful event. You want to instill FOMO the – Fear Of Missing Out – a powerful psychological phenomenon that can be harnessed to elevate your event to new heights.
And it’s easier than you might think, especially when you start by putting your event in your attendee’s pocket.

A few facts about FOMO and its impact on events

Increase attendee engagement by introducing activities, content, and exhibitors via push notifications, surveys, polls, and your social media feed. Be sure to make the most of these tools in the days leading up to your event, during your event, and definitely after your event ends.
Navigate with ease.
While your attendees are managing their must-see list of exhibitors with Quick List, our Best Path Routing helps them navigate the tradeshow hall quickly and easily via interactive map technology.
Turn up the fun with gamification.
Between passport games, prizes, audience voting, treasure hunts, and a host of other exciting activities, Core-Apps inspires the kind of friendly competition that motivates your attendees to not miss out on a moment of your event.
→Pro tip!
Get the games going before your event even starts. The Center for Association Leadership suggests you start fanning the FOMO fires by introducing games in advance of your event:
Plan a mobile app game that attendees can play to win prizes, and start the game before the conference begins. For example, create a photo contest where attendees submit photos for various categories, such as preparing for or traveling to the conference, to encourage them to download and begin using the app before they arrive.
Let the games begin!
Event organizers enjoy ease of operations with Core-Apps
Similar to the expression, “The customer is always right,” we tend to focus on and prioritize the event experience for attendees, especially when trying to create FOMO. However, Core-Apps has kept event managers in mind with some unique features that help ease operations and ensure your successful event.
Get organized.
Core-Apps allows event managers to seamlessly integrate with other leading systems — from registration, event management, and AMS/CRM, to name a few — in order to ensure that your registrants get added to your event roster, personal meetings, social feed, and push notifications — automatically.
Prioritize personalization to amplify brand awareness
With Core-Apps, it’s easy to represent your event’s theme and organization’s brand by adding images of featured speakers, highlighting sponsor logos, and sharing photos of the overall experience.
→Pro tip!
By leveraging the tech tip above, your event app practically pays for itself. Simply underwrite the cost of your event app by selling sponsorship perks, such as the ads or push notifications listed above. Presenting this opportunity to your exhibitors and industry partners as well will help monetize what will be a strategic investment in an innovative, game-changing mobile event app.

Keeping up with session check-ins can quickly become tedious. Fortunately, we’ve made it easy for you, your staff, and all attendees to manage continuing education credits.

Take advantage of an accessible admin portal
Staying connected and establishing a clear, reliable line of communication between you and your attendees is key to event success. Our portal facilitates this kind of communication, allowing you to send important messages and updates, as well as organize event content, ensuring the most compelling is front and center for optimal attendee engagement.
With this portal, attendees are connected and in the know at all times; this applies to events both big and small, even those that feature complex session types, multi-track, and sub-sessions.
