01What we keep hearing
01 / The price

You should not have to schedule a 30-minute discovery call to learn the price.

02 / The install

Your members should not have to download an app from a store to read the agenda.

03 / The lead

Your sponsors should leave with permissioned interest, meeting context, and the next right follow-up.

Event categories

The product is for event rooms where attention has enterprise value.

Conferences, seminars, workshops, conventions, retreats, councils, and roadshows all share the same operating problem: people spend real money to be in the room, sponsors spend real money to reach them, and the actual connection layer is usually underbuilt.

Category 01

Capital Stewardship

Where asset allocators, family offices, retirement plans, endowments, foundations, consultants, managers, custodians, and OCIOs gather around the money they allocate and steward.

First niche: autonomous public pension plans with board and fiduciary governance.

Category 02

Health, Benefits and Care

Employer benefits leaders, hospital systems, payers, brokers, TPAs, HR teams, medtech vendors, and care operators in rooms where spend and trust move together.

Built for conferences, workshops, advisory councils, and renewal-heavy sponsor programs.

Category 03

Civic Infrastructure and Public Service

Municipal leaders, utilities, transportation, public safety, construction buyers, procurement teams, risk pools, GovTech vendors, and infrastructure partners.

Useful when the buyer journey runs through education, field proof, and public accountability.

Category 04

Operator and Growth Communities

Franchise systems, dealer networks, vertical SaaS communities, agency owners, channel partners, and associations where vendors need useful reasons to meet members.

A fit for summits, user conferences, owner councils, roadshows, and recurring workshops.

Editorial · from the room

There is a moment at every good conference that no app captures.

The room goes quiet at 9:14. Someone you came to meet shows up at the coffee station. An attendee asks the question you would have asked, and three people lean in.

Most event tools work to interrupt that moment. Notifications fire when no one needs them. Sponsor profiles read like ad slots in a parking lot. Networking screens ask the room to add itself, friend by friend, like LinkedIn never happened.

We built the opposite. The companion site that lives for years after the conference closes. The push channel that fires when the WiFi password matters and stays quiet otherwise. The QR scan that logs the connection without making either person ask for it. The sponsor profile that earns its place because someone wrote it.

Build a conference experience worth remembering.
Then build the companion that helps people remember it.

First wedge · capital stewardship

Capital stewardship is the first category we know deeply.

Asset allocators, family offices, endowments, foundations, retirement plans, consultants, investment managers, custodians, and stewardship vendors all show up to rooms where trust, scale, governance, and timing shape the conversation.

Inside that category, our first live niche is autonomous public pension plans with board and fiduciary governance. The bundle includes 4,673 defined-benefit plan records, $5.99T in reported cash and investments, Census-backed metrics, source links, freshness labels, and review flags Hunter can supervise from Admin. Full search, detail views, and exports sit behind entitlement gates so access, context, and stewardship stay together.

The three surfaces

One product. Three places it shows up.

A site that ranks. An app that ships. A live layer that earns the room. Buy the surfaces you need, leave the rest, change your mind next event.

Surface 01

Public companion site

A reference attendees forward to peers. Not a wall of text behind a login screen. Indexable for search, mobile-first, and built to live for years after the conference closes.

View the case study
Surface 02

Native iOS and Android app

When the conference is large enough that the app is the conference, we ship the iOS and Android binary. Push notifications, offline mode, calendar sync, sponsor lead retrieval.

See the Bundle pricing
Surface 03

Live audience engagement

Live polls, Q and A queue with vote-up, emoji reactions, AI session recap. No Kahoot subscription required. Replaces $1,200 to $4,000 of incremental in-session software per event.

Meeting setup at Omni Fort Worth Hotel.

Fort Worth

The Omni Fort Worth.

This frame uses the curated venue image bank. New public venue media still needs a local asset, credit line, and rights note before it appears here.

Curated venue image. Not an endorsement.

01 / The room

The Omni Fort Worth.

Attendees fly in Sunday. The convention floor holds the keynote, breakouts, and sponsor expo in one footprint. The mixed-use property means logistics are forgotten by the time they reach the registration desk.

02 / The companion

The site loads before they walk in.

Indexable, mobile-first, ninety-four pages of verified data attendees can forward to peers. Lives on as a reference long after the conference ends.

03 / The moment

The push fires when the WiFi password matters.

Not when a sponsor wants it to. Auto-subscribed channels for what the room actually needs. Lunch lines. Lost-and-found. Session changes. Quiet otherwise.

04 / The follow-through

Connections log themselves.

Two people in the same conversation each scan the other’s Simpli-FI ID badge. The connection is captured. Nobody asks anyone to add anyone. Business cards retire on day one.

What premium buyers actually fund

An intelligence layer, not another conference app.

Agendas, maps, push alerts, and badge scans are table stakes. The expensive problems are sponsor renewal, attendee activation, executive proof, governed access, and turning the event into useful follow-up before the room goes cold.

01

Sponsor ROI console

Move beyond logo placement and booth traffic. Package opt-in engagement, content activity, meeting signals, and follow-up paths into renewal-ready sponsor reports.

02

Executive event dashboard

Give leadership a live view of attendance, activation, session performance, sponsor value, attendee questions, and post-event actions without waiting on a spreadsheet autopsy.

03

Attendee intelligence layer

Understand who is in the room, what they care about, which sessions they touch, and which introductions or resources should follow without turning attendees into targets.

04

AI content and memory system

Turn sessions, questions, decks, recordings, and notes into summaries, searchable guides, follow-up assets, and institutional memory that lives past checkout.

05

Private data rooms

Create controlled spaces for fiduciary materials, sponsor resources, committee files, category intelligence, VIP briefings, and member-only records with access tied to entitlement.

06

Ops and CRM command center

Connect the public site, app, registration data, live updates, sponsor surfaces, admin approvals, CRM notes, and follow-up tasks into one operating record.

For the sponsor desk

Sponsors should leave with named interest, not booth traffic folklore.

Each sponsor gets a narrative page inside the companion: why they belong in the room, which topics they can help with, and a clear opt-in path. When an attendee scans at the booth or asks for follow-up in the app, the sponsor sees the lead while the event is still live. Afterward, the organizer can hand over a report with permissioned leads, session and topic context, resource clicks, and meeting requests.

First proof, broader rooms

The TLFFRA Field Guide and the TEXPERS Annual companion are shipped production proof in fiduciary pension rooms. The same system is built for any sponsor-driven event where attendees carry budget, authority, or stewardship.
