For Conferences, festivals, box-office platforms

Ship the event app without shipping an event app

Every conference builds a native app that 30% of attendees install. A PWA hits 60-80% install because it takes a tap, and it works in low-signal venues.

Why it matters for events & ticketing

Event apps are shipped weeks before the show and abandoned days after. A PWA is instant to publish, instant to update, and free to run.

How teams use it

Offline schedule

Cache the full agenda so it works in packed halls with no signal.

Session change pushes

Room changes go to lock screens the moment they happen.

Sponsor lead capture

Installed attendees stay reachable long after the event ends.

FAQ

Can attendees see the ticket offline?

Yes — cache the ticket page and QR code in the service worker at install time.

Will Apple Wallet still work?

Yes; a PWA is complementary. Many events do both.
