The browser-based event app. No download.
Presso Events is a browser-based event app for attendees - agenda, networking, sponsors and live updates, with no app-store download. Attendees tap a smart link and they are in, on any device. It is the original Progressive Event App (PEA), Presso's own trademarked category for browser-first, event-specific apps.
30 to 40% of attendees never install your event app.
On a 1,500-attendee conference, that is 450 to 600 people who never see the schedule, the sponsors or the messages you paid for. Native event apps ask attendees to find the listing, install it, sign up and log in - and industry data on professional events puts install rates at only 60 to 70%.
Presso Events runs in the browser. There is nothing to install, no app store search, no version mismatch and no login gate beyond the smart link itself. Send the link, attendees tap, they are in - on tap one, on every device your audience already carries.
Every device. Your branding. One tap.
Works on every device.
iPhone, Android, laptop, tablet, desktop. The browser is the runtime - no install, no version drift, no app store.
Your name, your colours.
Your event name, logo and colours on the app. No Presso branding for attendees to see - the smart link reads as your event.
Offline-friendly for the essentials.
Agenda and speaker bios are cached, so patchy venue wifi doesn't stop attendees checking the schedule.
Three steps to your event app.
Send the smart link.
One link. Drop it in your event email, invite or wallet pass. That is the entire setup.
Attendees tap.
No app store search, no install, no version mismatch. The link opens the app instantly on any device.
They are in.
Your branded app, ready on tap one - schedule, sponsors, messages and networking, all under your name.
No app store between you and your attendees.

Common questions about Presso Events.
What is Presso Events?
Presso Events is a browser-based event app for attendees - agenda, networking, sponsors and live updates, with no app-store download. It is the original Progressive Event App (PEA), Presso's own trademarked category for browser-first, event-specific apps.
Do attendees need to download anything?
No. Attendees tap a smart link and the app opens instantly in their browser. They can save it to their home screen if they want a shortcut, but no install is required to use it.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Presso Events runs in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and every other modern browser - iPhone, Android, iPad, laptop and desktop. Same link, same experience, every device.
Can I brand it with my own name and logo?
Yes. Your event name, logo and colours go on the app, and there is no Presso branding for attendees to see. The smart link reads as your event, not as Presso.
Does it work offline or on poor venue wifi?
Core content such as the agenda and speaker bios is cached for offline-friendly access, so a patchy venue connection does not stop attendees checking the schedule.
How does it compare to native event apps like Whova or Bizzabo?
Native event apps require an app-store download, and industry data on professional events puts install rates at 60 to 70%. Browser-based delivery gets every attendee in on tap one, with no app-store review or update lag.
What does Presso Events cost?
The platform fee becomes the higher of 1% of ticket sales or £1 per active attendee per event day, whichever is greater - an attendee is only counted on a day they open the app. Pure ticket sales without Presso Events stay a flat 1% with no minimum. Presso Pro, your app on your own domain, is £49 a month on top.
