My events usually cap out at 150 so I'm good. You get a lot of features for free up to 200 attendees. But this leads me to my final point… Payment Tiers Now, I don't want to necessarily suggest that this needs to be available in the free edition because I get it – Guidebook is a business and they incentivize people to get more features by paying. What I did was put a link to the Survey Monkey survey for session feedback in a custom list and made it available. Remember that custom list I mentioned about? So you don't get feedback and surveys unless you go for a higher tier of service. It would have been great to have a Speakers section as well, and integrate the speaker information with the schedule data – so attendees could see the abstract for a session as well as the speaker details. Some people didn't realize that, because their default was to try and swipe left or right from the map image to get to the next one. If you want to see multiple maps, you have to press on the navigation arrows at the top. Critique wise, there's only a few things I'd mention. I'll talk about what I used this for later.įor most events, this is more than sufficient – it worked great and it was free! Feedback on the app from attendees was very positive as well. Inbox – This allows you to message attendees with updates, although I don't think you can get push messages unless you do a higher tier of service.Ĭustom List – You can add custom lists of information. Twitter – A twitter feed based on whatever accounts you pre-configure. ToDo – Just a place for attendees to add notes. Maps – You upload your own map images for the venue, its displayed here. My Schedule – Allows you to see all your favourited sessions by day and time! Worked really well. Schedule – Mobile version of the schedule, complete with session description and the ability to 'add to favorites' General Info – Info about the event, contact information etc. There's different pricing tiers which grants different features, but for the free tier (which is capped at 200 downloads comes with almost all the key features. Then your attendees download the Guidebook app and access your specific guidebook. The way Guidebook works is that you create your 'Guidebook' on their website.

If you're running any sort of conference/event, you should definitely check it out! Overall I was really happy with it, only a few minor gripes.

For Prairie Dev Con Regina I decided to use Guidebook – a service that provides a mobile application for conferences and events along with online administration/content-management tools.
