FNattendee is the companion app for attendees of conferences and summits run on the Foxtrot November event platform. Sign in with the same account you used to register (your FNid), and the app opens on the events you are attending. BROWSE THE AGENDA See the full schedule for your event, day by day. Filter by track, speaker, company or room to cut a large programme down to the sessions you actually care about. Open any session for its description, speakers, time and location. BUILD YOUR OWN SCHEDULE Save the sessions you want to attend and keep them together in one list, so you are not re-reading the whole agenda between talks. LOOK UP SPEAKERS Search the speaker directory by name, job title or company, and see which sessions each speaker is presenting. MEET PEOPLE, ON YOUR TERMS Connect with other attendees by scanning each other's event badge in person. There is no attendee directory to browse and no way for a stranger to message you. Once connected, you can chat one to one. You can switch messaging off entirely, block a connection, or report a conversation, all from inside the app. WORKS WHEN THE VENUE WI-FI DOES NOT, IN OFFLINE MODE Conference networks are unreliable, or maybe you're on a plane, so the app keeps what you have already looked at on your device. The agenda, speaker list, your profile and event information stay readable with no signal, and quietly refresh when you are back online. EVENT INFORMATION IN ONE PLACE Practical event details, contact routes for the organisers, and help for the app itself. FNattendee is provided by FNTech for events run on its platform. You will need an account for a participating event to use it.
