Learn about the different features of the Zuddl attendee app
Built for the people who actually walk your show floor or join your streams, the Zuddl Attendee App puts every schedule, interaction, and resource in one polished mobile workspace. The app is the attendee-facing counterpart to the organizer console, so when you update a session title or open a poll, changes appear instantly on every phone—no re-publishing, no version drift.
A homepage is where you can view all the navigation menu items such as schedule, networking, inbox, etc. You can upload a scrollable mobile banner image with your event branding and relevant hotspots. A fintech summit saw 18 percent higher day-two attendance after surfacing each user’s first session the moment they opened the app.
The Agenda tab lists every session the attendee can access, the sessions are shown filtered by date. Tapping a card reveals speaker profiles, slide decks, and a join button for live streams. The schedule updates in real time—if a keynote runs late or a room change occurs, attendees see a banner and itinerary adjustment within seconds.
Digital badges with QR codes live inside the app. Scanning at the door records attendance, unlocks room-capacity analytics, and eliminates paper credentials that clog entry lines. For hybrid programs the same QR admits on-site guests while virtual audiences tap “Join” for the live stream, giving you unified attendance metrics across formats.
During a session, an overlay slides up to show chat, moderated Q&A, and polls. The UI mirrors the desktop stage, so hybrid participants share a common interaction layer. Speakers see questions sorted by up-votes, making it easy to address the hottest topics first, while the organizer collects poll results that feed lead-scoring logic downstream.
The People tab exposes a searchable roster, but only for attendees who opted to share their profiles. In-app messaging works like a focused DM thread—text-only, no GIF spam—and feeds directly into the meetings scheduler if both parties choose a slot. A software vendor used this flow to book 104 demos during a two-day show, doubling onsite pipeline from the previous year.
Time-sensitive nudges—“Lunch service closes in 15 minutes” or “Your round-table starts now”—arrive as push notifications and persist in an inbox for attendees who disabled system pushes. Segmenting rules let you send reminders only to VIP tiers or first-time attendees, keeping spam complaints low while raising show-up rates for premium experiences.
Organizers assign points to actions—joining a keynote, answering a poll, scanning an expo booth—and the app tallies them in a live leaderboard. Because points are additive, even late registrants feel motivated to engage, driving sustained participation. An HR tech event offered exclusive Slack emoji packs and still saw a 40 percent uptick in poll completions.
All critical assets—agenda, tickets, personal calendar—cache locally. If convention-hall Wi-Fi implodes, attendees can still find their rooms and check in; the app queues interactions and syncs once connectivity returns. This design protects NPS on crowded show floors where bandwidth becomes a precious commodity.
