Connected Event Group Launches Connected Apps

2/23/2026

Connected Event Group has announced the launch of Connected Apps, a new branch of the business dedicated to building custom event apps, business tools, fast websites and AI-powered automation designed to work in environments where you’re on show and your reputation matters.

Alongside the launch, Connected Event Group has released the Event App Playbook, a free industry resource featuring 18 interactive event app concepts designed to help you win more business.

Built for Live Events, Not Just Demos

Connected Apps was created in response to a growing gap between beautifully designed tech and technology that actually works on site, on the day. With over 20 years of experience delivering live events, the Connected Event Group team has seen first-hand how unreliable or over-engineered tech can impact audiences, schedules and budgets.

Connected Apps focuses on practical, fast and reliable digital solutions that are tested against real venue conditions, hardware and workflows. Every build is designed with the realities of live events in mind, including tight timelines, connectivity challenges and high-pressure environments.

What Connected Apps Delivers

Connected Apps offers a wide range of custom digital solutions, including:
  • Event apps for conferences, exhibitions, festivals and brand activations
  • Interactive touchscreen and multi-screen experiences
  • Custom business apps, portals and workflow automation
  • Fast, mobile-first websites for events and campaigns
  • AI-powered tools that reduce manual effort and improve efficiency
All solutions are designed and developed locally by teams who work directly in the events industry, ensuring speed, clarity and continuity from concept through to delivery.

Introducing the Event App Playbook

To support the launch, Connected Event Group has released the Event App Playbook, a downloadable guide showcasing 18 interactive app ideas that have been tested in real event environments.

The Playbook includes concepts such as live polling that triggers stage effects, phone-as-gamepad competitions, interactive mosaics, RFID-powered experiences and step-based challenges that unlock rewards or locations. Each idea includes practical notes on timelines, feasibility and audience impact, helping planners confidently explore interactive tech without the guesswork.

The Playbook is designed to inspire creativity while remaining grounded in what can realistically be delivered for live events.

Designed to Move Faster

Connected Apps is built on the belief that speed does not need to come at the expense of quality. With clear scopes, experienced teams and a deep understanding of live production, Connected Apps enables clients to move quickly while maintaining reliability and performance.

The launch reflects Connected Event Group’s continued investment in emerging event technologies and its commitment to helping clients stay ahead of the curve.
