Hangtight: The Everything App

I attended a conference this past weekend that used Hangtight for everything and it genuinely was mind blowing. There was an active group chat, a schedule where you can check your attendance or lack of, as well as plenty of additional info like locations of events. If you’re hosting a conference, this app should be your go-to for everything every time. The developers love receiving feedback and want to continue improving it too!

New conference experience

I work in residence life and we used this for our recent regional conference. It was a great addition to the conference; helped us to connect delegates to each other, connect advisors with other advisors, organize the schedule, kept all of our announcements in one place, gave location updates, etc. I’d definitely recommend bringing this back to my home campus!
