Introducing Connected Apps: Tech That Actually Works on the Day

February 16, 2026

If you’ve ever worked on a live event, you know the truth: tech doesn’t get a second chance.

It has to work on site, on the day, under pressure. Not just in a demo. Not just on a laptop. Not just in theory.

That’s exactly why we launched Connected Apps.

Built from the trenches, not a pitch deck.

Connected Apps is our new branch focused on building event apps, business tools, fast websites and AI automation that actually work in real-world environments.

It’s built by designers, developers and event people with more than 20 years of hands-on experience running events and businesses. We’ve stood backstage during show call. We’ve dealt with last-minute changes, tight timelines and tech that needs to behave perfectly when the room is full and the pressure is on.

We know how unforgiving live environments are, so we build accordingly.

WHAT WE BUILD

Connected Apps brings together four core areas where speed, reliability and practicality matter most:

Event Apps

Interactive apps for conferences, festivals and brand activations. Think touchscreens, games, leaderboards, interactive maps and lead capture, all custom-built for your brand and designed to work with real venue tech, including offline environments when needed.

Business Apps

Custom CRMs, client portals and internal tools built for the way teams actually work. No bloated enterprise platforms. Just clean, purpose-built tools that save time and remove friction.

Fast Websites

High-converting, mobile-first websites that launch in days, not months. Ideal for events, campaigns, product launches and businesses that need to move quickly without sacrificing quality.

AI Automation

Smart, practical automation that saves hours. Chatbots, document processing, data extraction and workflows that make sense, without overcomplicating things or adding noise.

Why Connected Apps exists

We built Connected Apps because we kept seeing the same problems:

Tech that looks great in a deck but fails on site.

Long build timelines for simple ideas.

Agencies that design first and hope it works later.

Endless back-and-forth with teams who have never worked a live event.

That’s not how we work.

We design and build with the audience, the venue and the live-day reality in mind from day one. We test against real hardware. We move fast. We fix things immediately. And we stay involved through launch and beyond.

No offshore ping-pong.

No bloated processes.

No “we’ll patch it after the event” energy.

Built fast, built to last

Connected Apps is about speed, but never at the expense of quality. Fast does not mean sloppy. It means experienced teams, clear scopes and decisions made by people who understand what matters.

If you’ve ever thought:

“Why does this take so long?”

or

“This should already exist.”

That’s exactly why Connected Apps exists.
