Event app development for one event
Most event app searches lead to platforms for agendas, tickets and attendee networking. We build something else: a custom event app for one event, brand activation or trade-show stand, designed around what guests should do there. Typical goals are collecting leads, getting visitors to play, giving away prizes or sending each guest their photo or result.
What we build:
- Quizzes and mini-games, with scores and leaderboards on an LED screen.
- Registration and data forms for lead capture on iPads and touchscreens at the stand.
- Landing pages and web experiences that guests open on their own phones.
- Interfaces for XR video zones and interactive installations, where a guest enters an email and receives their photo or video.
- Native iOS and Android apps when the project needs functions a browser cannot offer.
We work with event agencies, marketing teams and brands exhibiting at trade shows. The app is often part of a larger stand or stage for which we also supply LED screens, sound and interactive installations, so one team plans the app together with the hardware it runs on and the content shown around it.
Web app or native app?
For most events a web app is the right choice. It opens in a browser, needs no installation and runs on our iPads at the stand as well as on guests' phones. Changes before or during the event are quick to publish.
A native iOS or Android app makes sense when the experience needs device functions or performance a web app cannot give. We recommend the format after the brief, based on what the guest does, on which device and for how long.
Integrations: CRM, email, LED and interactive setups
An event app is rarely on its own. We connect it to the rest of your event:
- CRM and email services: leads from forms go straight to your system, and guests receive emails with their results, photos or offers.
- LED screens: live scores, quiz questions or guest content shown on the stand or stage screen.
- Interactive setups: the app starts a game, triggers content in an XR video zone or collects data from an interactive installation.
For branded games, see our games catalogue: each game can be branded or built with custom mechanics, and runs on touchscreens, with camera or body tracking, or on LED walls.
Built for venue conditions
Venue Wi-Fi is often slow or overloaded once the hall fills up. We load-test every app before the event, test it on the actual devices that will be used, and plan what happens when the connection drops. On the event day our team launches the app on site and stays available for support.
We also supply the hardware the app runs on: iPad Air 13" tablets, touchscreens such as Avtek 55" and iiyama 32", 4K TVs and LED screens, delivered and installed anywhere in Poland and across Europe for larger productions and trade shows.
Event app cost: what drives the price
Every app is built for its event, so there is no fixed price list. The main cost drivers are:
- Scope: the number of screens, user flows and languages.
- Format: a web app or a native iOS/Android app.
- Integrations with CRM, email, LED screens and interactive setups.
- Games and graphics: custom mechanics, 3D or motion design.
- Event days with on-site support, and the devices and screens you need.
Send the event date, the goal and what guests should do, and we come back with a proposed scope and a net quote. The more custom the app, the more time it needs for development and testing, so start early.
Event app projects
At IGB London Boomerang we built web interfaces and an XR photo booth that sent guests their results by email automatically. To discuss your event app, call +48 453 366 654 or use the contact form.
