What is The Automatic Event & Expo App?
The Automatic Event & Expo App is the perfect digital solution for your next conference or event.
The app provides a direct medium for connecting with guests, providing engaging location specific challenges and delivering important information in an innovative way. The simple to use app works for both indoor and outdoor locations, using GPS, Google Maps, and indoor Bluetooth Beacons to detect where visitors are located. The app shows a map of an area with points of interest (Expo stands, facilities, shops etc.) and detects where the user is located, triggering corresponding challenges or notifications when guests approach pre-set objects.
The apps administrator can easily publish their own content and update the app using the Creator CMS (discussed below). Locatify´s Automatic Event & Expo App adds measurable value, both to the customer experience and to the organiser’s bottom line.
How is it used?
Greet your groups with your branded event app with activities, maps and reference material for the event. Manage the activities and content in the app using the Locatify Creator CMS and present scoreboards for the games.
The app includes any combination of: event’s schedule, audio guided tours and scavenger hunt games with challenges and score, points of interest on maps and a group chat. The points of interest are presented on indoor or outdoor maps and are activated automatically based on the user’s location.
Users play the treasure hunt games to earn score and solve challenges on location when treasure locations are visited. Games include a scoreboard for sharing the results and for the coordinator to be able to hand out rewards after a game activity. Further information on Team-building with scavenger hunt apps.
Where can it be used?
Your customers are referred to download the app before or during the event. The app can be used both for outdoor and indoor events with maps and applicable location technology. The automatic triggering of location based content is handled outdoor with GPS and indoor using Bluetooth Low Energy beacons to position the user.
The app includes the information relevant to the event including the schedule and activities. The customer will use the app to take part in group activities, to self explore with audio guides, and to look at the schedule and reference material.

Offline content
After the app is installed on a device, the internet connection is not required. Scores will upload on leaderboard when internet connection is established.
Indoor location using BLE
Users see their location on an outdoor map or an indoor floor map using the latest location technology. BLE Beacons can be easily installed on the walls because they are conveniently sized and do not need external power supply while GPS works well outdoors.
The BLE beacons are inexpensive, battery driven and placed in strategic locations within the venue. Installation of the BLE Beacons is easy, fast and requires minimal maintenance. BLE technology is the latest trend for indoor positioning and Locatify has developed a functional and tested product for it.
Observer
On the front-page of Locatify’s website is an access the Observer Application where games in progress can be observed on the web. To observe a game, either enter the game’s invitation code into the Observer or enter it from within the Creator CMS.

Testimonials
THANK YOU LOCATIFY In many ways, the GEO Challenge event in Aarhus, Denmark Jan. 30th was big success. A BIG THANKS to the dedicated Locatify team who have been working with us at Geotrail for the last couple of month. Based on our ideas the Locatify team developed and customized the app and CMS module, that served as a virtual platform for the event!
The event was one of several activities for the employees from a large Danish company, who need a break and some fresh air between the corporate PowerPoint slides. After a brief introduction, the 400 participants set out in teams to search and find 100 preplanned challenges – all with the overall ambition to promote cooperation, knowledge sharing and communication.
The game concept and the technique worked as planned, and even though the weather was a bit rough, all participants seemed to enjoy the event. At Geotrail we look forward to continuing the cooperation with Locatify, improving the app and maybe pursue new possibilities.”
– Morten Salomonsen, CEO, GeoTrail
