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.
