Now onboarding beta clients
The last event app you'll ever use.
One WhatsApp conversation replaces the agenda PDF, the FAQ doc, and the support desk. Built chat-first for conferences and corporate events.
Attending an event? Just message your organiser's WhatsApp number.

Attendees message your event's own WhatsApp number
— The problem
Nobody actually opens your event app.
You spend months building it. Attendees download it on the first morning, tap around once, then go straight back to email and WhatsApp. The PDF agenda still wins. We think that's broken.

attendees never download it at all
Backchannel skips the download. Attendees message one WhatsApp number — an app they already open fifty times a day — so engagement isn't a launch-day spike, it's the whole event.
— Product
Built around conversation.
No more apps to download. No more PDFs to scroll. Just chat.
AI event assistant
Trained on your agenda, speakers, FAQs and venue. Attendees get instant, accurate answers. Questions it can't answer land in your inbox, and your reply teaches it for next time.
Multi-stage timetable
Every stage side by side on one timeline. Import a spreadsheet and clashes are flagged for you.
Speakers onboard themselves
Share one link. Speakers add their bio and headshot, no account needed.
Embed on your website
Drop your live schedule and sponsors onto any site.
See what attendees ask
Unanswered questions surfaced as they happen.
Manage as a team
Invite up to three managers to update speakers, sponsors and agenda.
— Try it
Ask it anything.
This is what your attendees see. Pick a topic and tap a question to watch it answer.
Tap a question to see the assistant answer. "Ask something else" shows what happens when it doesn't know — the question is flagged to the organiser's knowledge base.
