The Howard University Alumni Retreat faced three critical challenges that existing solutions couldn't address.
Attendees relied on email schedules, leading to confusion about session times and room locations. People were showing up to the wrong rooms or missing sessions entirely—no real-time updates meant information was stale the moment it was sent.
Connecting with other attendees was hit-or-miss. If you didn't catch someone during a break and exchange contact info, the opportunity was lost. There was no systematic way to discover and connect with fellow attendees before, during, or after the event.
We explored alternatives but none fit our needs:
"We needed a simple, cost-effective solution purpose-built for our community."
Built based on real user feedback: "We don't want complexity—we want something that just works."
Live schedule updates with session details, times, and room locations—no more digging through emails or showing up to the wrong room.
→ Result: 40% reduction in missed sessions
Searchable directory enabling attendees to discover and connect with each other before, during, and after the event—no more missed networking opportunities.
→ Result: 85% adoption rate among attendees

I really love this app, and I can see us using it for future retreats! Would love to bring this to some nonprofits I manage as well for events we host in the summer.
