\n Adalo is the no-code app builder that pairs AI-powered generation with a visual multi-screen canvas, so entrepreneurs and business teams can design, build, and publish custom database-driven apps to the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and web from a single project — no code, no developers required. Give attendees a branded event experience with schedules, speaker profiles, and networking—all from your own native app.\n
\n \nFrom single-day meetups to multi-day conferences—describe what you need and Ada, Adalo's AI builder, generates a working event app with Magic Start in minutes.
\nMost event organizers choose between expensive platforms with rigid templates and generic tools that don't deliver a branded experience. Your event deserves its own app.
\nBuilt for organizers who want full control over the attendee experience—on web, iOS, and Android from a single build.
\nCreate multi-track schedules with session details, speaker bios, room assignments, and time slots. Attendees add sessions to personalized \"My Schedule\" views and get push notifications before sessions start.
\nRich speaker profiles with photos, bios, session listings, and social links. Attendees browse speakers, save favorites, and get notified when a speaker's session is about to begin.
\nLet attendees create profiles, browse other participants by interest or company, and exchange contact information. Built-in messaging connects people without sharing personal phone numbers or emails.
\nNative push notifications for schedule changes, session reminders, venue announcements, and networking matches. Critical for keeping hundreds of attendees informed in real time across a multi-day event.
\nGenerate unique QR codes for each attendee and scan them at entry or individual sessions. Track attendance in real time from the organizer dashboard without manual check-in sheets.
\nCollect session ratings and attendee feedback in real time through the app. Survey data flows directly into your database for instant analysis—no waiting weeks for email survey responses.
\nAdalo 3.0's infrastructure (launched late 2025) is 3–4x faster and scales to 1M+ monthly active users. Here's how to build your event app on it.
\nTell Ada, Adalo's AI builder, about your conference or event. Magic Start generates a complete app with schedule screens, speaker profiles, attendee registration, and navigation from your description—typically in under two minutes.
\nSee every screen on the visual canvas simultaneously. Point at elements and visually direct Ada to adjust your schedule layout, track colors, session card designs, and speaker profile pages. Add features with Magic Add using natural language.
\nUse Adalo's built-in relational database for sessions, speakers, and attendees, or connect Google Sheets via SheetBridge if your team already manages speaker lists in spreadsheets. Add Zapier integrations for ticketing platforms and email marketing.
\nPreview your event app on any device form factor directly from the canvas. Test the full attendee flow—browsing the schedule, viewing speaker profiles, adding sessions, and receiving notifications—on iPhone, Android, tablet, and desktop before publishing.
\nDeploy your event app as a native iOS app on the Apple App Store, a native Android app on Google Play, and a web app—all from a single build. Attendees download your branded app and have the full event experience in their pocket.
\nStop paying per attendee for someone else's template. Build the exact event experience your audience deserves.
\nAdalo costs $36/mo with unlimited users, records, and storage. A 1,000-person conference on Whova might cost $3,000+. On Adalo, the same event costs $36/mo total with a fully branded native app.
\nYour event app looks and feels like it belongs to your brand. Custom colors, logos, layouts, and navigation—not a generic template with your logo pasted on top. Published under your own App Store listing.
\nTrue native iOS and Android apps mean reliable push notifications for schedule changes, room switches, and networking matches. Web-based event platforms can't match this level of real-time communication.
\nBuild once, update for each event. Your app infrastructure persists across conferences—just update the schedule, speakers, and branding. Each subsequent event takes a fraction of the initial build time.
\nSee schedules, speaker profiles, networking features, and check-in screens simultaneously. Adalo's multi-screen canvas lets you design event flows visually with AI direction.
\nAdalo 3.0 delivers 3–4× faster performance and scales to 1M+ monthly active users. Your app handles 200-person workshops and 20,000-person conferences with the same reliability.
\nSee how building your own event app with Adalo compares to the alternatives.

Patterns from organizers who have built and shipped successful event apps with Adalo.
\nThe schedule is the core of every event app. Build the session list, day navigation, and track filters first. Then add speaker profiles, networking, and check-in features around it.
\nLet attendees create profiles with interests and company info during registration. Use Adalo's relational database to suggest connections based on shared interests or session attendance.
\nMap out which notifications matter: session starting in 10 minutes, room change, speaker swap, networking match. Too many notifications will make attendees turn them off. Be selective.
\nAdd session rating screens that appear right after each talk ends. Real-time feedback while the session is fresh produces higher response rates and more useful data than post-event email surveys.
\nIf your registration data lives in Google Sheets or a CSV export, use SheetBridge to connect it as a relational database. Attendees, tickets, and sessions import without manual entry.
\nUse the app at a smaller event or internal meeting before the main conference. Live event conditions—Wi-Fi congestion, simultaneous check-ins, last-minute schedule changes—reveal issues testing can't.
\nNo caps on attendees, sessions, or speakers. Adalo paid plans include unlimited database records, users, and storage. Free plan includes 500 records to prototype your event app.
\nNative push notifications for schedule changes, session reminders, room switches, and networking alerts. Keeps attendees informed without relying on email or SMS.
\nAlready managing speakers and sessions in Google Sheets? SheetBridge connects your spreadsheet as a relational database so you can update the app by updating the sheet.
\nConnect your event app to ticketing platforms, email marketing tools, CRMs, and survey tools via Zapier or Make. Automate registration workflows and post-event follow-ups.
\nAdalo is the no-code app builder that pairs AI-powered generation with a visual multi-screen canvas, so entrepreneurs and business teams can design, build, and publish custom database-driven apps to the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and web from a single project — no code, no developers required.
\nYes. Adalo's built-in database can store attendee records with unique QR codes generated at registration. Organizers scan codes using the app's camera to check attendees in at the door or at individual sessions. For payment processing, connect to Stripe via Zapier or use Adalo's Stripe integration to sell tickets directly through the app. Attendance data flows into your dashboard in real time.
\nYes. Adalo builds true native iOS and Android apps with built-in push notification support. You can send notifications for schedule changes, room switches, session reminders, networking matches, and general announcements. This is a significant advantage over web-based event platforms, which rely on email or in-browser notifications that attendees often miss.
\nYes. You can build attendee profiles with company, role, and interest fields, then let attendees browse and connect with other participants. Adalo's relational database links attendees to their sessions, interests, and conversations. You can add in-app messaging so attendees exchange contact information without sharing personal phone numbers or email addresses publicly.
\nAdalo's paid plans start at $36/mo with unlimited usage—no caps on attendees, sessions, data, or storage. Compare that to Whova ($2–8 per attendee, so a 500-person event costs $1,000–4,000) or custom development ($10,000–50,000+). The free plan includes 500 database records so you can prototype your event app before committing.
\nYes. Adalo's relational database handles multi-day schedules with multiple tracks, rooms, and session types. You can build day-by-day navigation, track-filtered views, and personalized \"My Schedule\" screens where attendees save their preferred sessions. The same database structure works whether your event is a single-day workshop or a week-long conference with parallel tracks.
\nYes, and this is one of the biggest advantages over event platforms that charge per event. Your Adalo event app is yours to keep and update. For your next conference, update the schedule, speakers, and branding in the database—the app structure, design, and App Store listing carry over. Most organizers find that subsequent events take a fraction of the initial build time.
\nAdalo excels at building custom, branded event apps with schedules, networking, and attendee engagement features. However, it doesn't include built-in live video streaming—you'd embed a third-party stream (YouTube Live, Vimeo) or link out. Adalo also doesn't provide a built-in payment gateway for ticket sales out of the box—you'd connect Stripe via integration. For large-scale hybrid events with thousands of concurrent live stream viewers, dedicated event platforms like Hopin or Bizzabo may be more appropriate. For in-person and lightly hybrid events where attendee experience matters most, Adalo is the practical choice.
