Splash Host is the ultimate mobile companion to the world’s most powerful event marketing platform. Quickly check in guests (even without Wi-Fi), scan and validate tickets, sync guest lists in real-time across multiple devices, view all past and upcoming events, share event cards with one tap, register walk-ins and +1s, snap and share photos to social, and much more. “Splash is blowing up the notion that the most important part of an event is what happens in the room.” – Fast Company Splash Host quickly surfaces answers to every event host’s most pressing questions, like: WHO’S ON THE LIST? Fast search and smart filtering gives you up-to-the-minute guest list snapshots, like: • Who RSVP’d and hasn’t yet checked in? • How many walk-ins have we registered so far? • How many VIPs with blue tickets have RSVP’d? • How many total people did we invite? WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THESE PEOPLE? To Splash, an event guest isn’t just a name on a list. They’re a real person with a real story. It’s why the Splash Host app instantly serves up valuable guest profile data, like: • How many previous events has he/she attended, RSVP’d to, or been invited to. • Important notes, like a favorite cocktail (or conversation topics to avoid!) • Whether he/she is a guest of another invitee. • The exact time he/she checked in.
