We’ve seen recently how important mobile apps are to the event industry. In fact, event software giant Cvent went from never acquiring a company to acquiring two event app development companies within a week. That shows how important mobile apps are to the $263 billion dollar U.S. meeting industry.
A new startup, and recent graduate of Excelerate Labs, Shortlist, has come to the party with a new mobile app solution for any event organizer, big or small.
To compliment matters Shortlist packs a ton of features into a simple to use app from event creation, to end user functionality in a smart, easy to navigate UX.
On the social side, Shortlist is able to connect event attendees to each other using their proprietary “connection engine” algorithms. You’ll get to meet, new and influential people who are attending the same event.
We got to talk to CTO and co-founder Brantley Harris in this quick interview video below. Harris talks about Shortlist and also what they learned in the Excelerate Labs accelerator.
