A conference platform, phone first

Conferences people find their way through

Registration, the ticket, the agenda and the door, in one app every attendee already has: the browser on their phone. Built for the hall where the Wi-Fi gives up, and priced per event with everything in it.

For attendees

Their ticket and their day, on their phone

Nobody downloads anything and nobody makes a password. Attendees open the event's address, register, and the app is theirs. A six-digit code by email signs them in on another phone.

The agenda by day and room, in the venue's time, with the session on now marked
A personal agenda: star a session and it is kept with the ticket
The ticket's QR code, saved on the phone for the moment the Wi-Fi gives up
Speakers and sponsors, and calendar files for the event and each session

Open Beacon Summit as an attendee

At the door

A scanner on any phone the crew already has

Open the event in the workspace, choose Scanner and point the camera at the queue. The screen answers in a colour visible from two metres and says why in a word. Anything that is not green waits for a tap, so nobody is waved through a red screen. When the venue's network goes, the scanner carries on.

Green, amber or red, with the reason: already in, cancelled, a full room
Several doors: the entrance, a session's room, lunch, each with its own ticket types, capacity and a live count of who is inside
Offline, the scanner decides on the device and queues its scans; the server checks each again and lists any it decided differently
Badges printed from the browser on badge, card or label stock, with no printer driver and no app
Kiosk badge printing, walk-in registration and payment, and shift tools for the crew

On every screen

One announcement, on every screen and phone at once

Type it in the workspace and send it. Every paired television and every phone with the app open shows it within seconds, and an urgent one takes over the screens. The room screens need nothing but a browser.

A television pairs with a six-character code: any screen with a browser will do
Now and next in its own room, marked full when its door is, and now and next everywhere
Arrivals as counts, never names, the sponsors and the leaderboard
Self check-in: the screen shows a QR code that changes every thirty seconds, scanned with the attendee's own phone

Networking

Scan a badge, and both keep the card

Attendees who turn networking on scan each other's badge in the app, and both keep the other's card, with only what each chose to share. When the organiser makes it a rule, a new connection earns points, and the leaderboard on the screens follows within seconds.

A directory for those who opt in, with interests and a choice of what to share
Both keep the other's card, with a private note of their own
Meeting requests at the organiser's tables and times; an accepted meeting gets the first free table
Private chat between connections, with blocking and reporting, and a direct line to the organisers

In the room

Live polls and audience questions, on the room's screen

Open a poll during a session and the votes come in from the phones in the room, while the screen shows the shares as they change. Questions from the audience are voted up, so the one most people want asked rises to the top.

One vote per attendee, which they can change while the poll is open
Questions voted up by the room, pinned or hidden by the organiser
Session surveys, speaker ratings and your own questions, from verified attendees by default
Surveys with averages and Net Promoter Score, never with names

The organiser opens and closes polls from the workspace; the phones vote and the room's screen follows within seconds.

After the applause

Turn a great day into a story you can prove

See how tickets sold, who came, what filled the rooms and what people took part in. Give sponsors their results, compare another edition and share a polished report without rebuilding the story in a spreadsheet.

Sales and revenue curves, capacity and a clearly labelled sales-pace projection
Audience, arrivals, room occupancy, engagement and sponsor outcomes

Where it sits

Seven things nobody does together

Your event should feel like one experience, not a stack of subscriptions. Tickets, the day itself, the conversations and the results belong together.

Phone first, without an app store

The attendee app is a web app that installs from the event's own address. It keeps the ticket and the agenda on the phone, so both still open when the network does not.

Onsite that survives the venue's Wi-Fi

The scanner runs in the browser of any phone with a camera. It keeps the event's tickets, decides at the door when the connection is gone, and sends its scans when it is back. Several doors, each with its own capacity, and badges printed from a browser on the printer the venue already has.

Room screens built in

Any television with a browser shows now and next in its room, arrivals as counts, the sponsors and the leaderboard, live within seconds. It pairs with a six-character code, so nobody types a password with a remote.

Points that cannot be farmed

Every rule pays once per attendee and per thing, enforced by the database, with limits and time windows. Challenge codes are signed and only work when scanned. A prize draw among everybody above a threshold is recorded with who drew it.

European payments

Paid tickets through your own Mollie or Stripe account, invoices with VAT, full or partial refunds and paying later by bank transfer. Match bank statements in the workspace. The money goes to you, not through us.

Connects to your systems

Signed webhooks, a published REST API and clean exports put your data wherever you need it, without copying it by hand.

A published price per event

Non-commercial events are free, always. Every event is free up to 1,000 participants; above that, one licence of €1,000 per event (excluding VAT), with everything in it. No fee per registrant, no add-ons, no subscription.

How the price works

EU sovereignty

Your event's data is kept in the EU

AttendBeacon runs in Microsoft Azure data centres in the EU. Here is exactly where, which companies handle your event's data, and the few things that leave the EU, and why.

Sweden Central, Sweden
West Europe, the Netherlands

Hosted in the EU

In Microsoft Azure data centres in the EU. The app and the database run in Sweden Central, in Sweden. Uploads and photos, Key Vault, logs and monitoring, and the container registry are in West Europe, in the Netherlands.

Email with its data in Europe

Emails are relayed through MailChannels, a dedicated email delivery service. We send only what is needed to deliver each message.

AI in the EU Data Zone, and optional

AI features use Azure OpenAI in the EU Data Zone, so the processing stays within the EU. They are optional, and organisers can switch them off.

Payments through your own Mollie account

Ticket payments go through the organiser's own Mollie account, a Dutch company: iDEAL, Bancontact, SEPA and cards, with VAT invoices included. Stripe is optional.

Work accounts, and no attendee passwords

Organisers sign in with their Microsoft, Google or GitHub account. Attendees sign in with a code by email; they have no password.

No Google Fonts, no trackers

Fonts are self-hosted on our own servers. No analytics or tracking scripts on this site, in the workspace or in the event app.

Our processors: Microsoft, for hosting, email and AI, and Mollie, for payments on the organiser's own account.

What leaves the EU, and why

Push messages pass through the browser maker's push service, encrypted end to end so it can't read them. Wallet passes are stored by Apple or Google only when an attendee adds one. Emails end up at each recipient's own mail provider. And Microsoft is a US company: we use the EU regions of Microsoft Azure.

What stays and what leaves

How it works

From an empty workspace to people at the door

Four steps, each one in the workspace an organiser already has open.

Create the event
A name and a date are enough to start. Then rooms, tracks and sessions in the venue's time, speakers and sponsors, and the event's colours and font.
Open registration
Ticket types with a capacity and a sale window, free or paid through your own Mollie or Stripe account. Ask only what you need; every answer is checked on the server.
Attendees get their ticket
A QR code by email and in the app. They sign in with a code, build their own agenda and have the ticket on their phone.
Scan them in
The scanner on any phone at each door, online or not, badges from the browser, and the list of who came, exported when you need it.

Everything it does

See it as an attendee sees it
