Event App + Auction Guide
The whole evening, one scan away.
A QR code on each table card opens a night-of guide: the agenda, the live auction as a swipeable poster feed, and every silent auction item with a direct link to bid. Nothing to download, and built to hold up on ballroom Wi-Fi.

Reported project outcomes. Results vary.
The bottleneck
A booklet can't keep up with the night.
Printed programs go stale as auction items and timings change, and guests won't download an app for one evening.
The fix
One guide behind every table card.
- 01Scan the table cardThe guide opens in the phone's browser.
- 02Browse the auctionSwipe the live packages and tap any silent item to bid.
- 03Follow the eveningThe agenda and the panel Q&A are one tap away.
What we built
- A QR-code guide that opens in the browser, with no app to download
- The evening's agenda, with each segment of the program
- The live auction as a swipeable poster feed with a "what's included" sheet
- Every silent auction item with its number, starting bid, value and a direct bid link
- A link into the live panel Q&A app for the same evening
- One static, preloaded page built for weak ballroom Wi-Fi and older phones
- An item importer that copies an auction listing's title, description and image from a link
What changed
Guests browse the auction on their own phones, and the team updates the night from one file.
Before
A printed booklet and a separate bidding site.
After
Agenda and every auction item in one guide, one tap from bidding.
- Guests had the agenda and every auction item on their own phone from the moment they sat down
- Every silent auction item linked straight to its bid page, so browsing led directly to bidding
- The evening's details lived in one file the team could update right up to the event
