CrowdUltra

CrowdUltra is an all-in-one event app tailored to enhance any in-person or virtual occasion alongside a social platform connecting crowds to bring everyone closer together. 

Channels

Create a Channel for your occasion to establish an organized social hub for the occasion. Channels increase connection, engagement, awareness, and event attendance. Add additional Channel information using the editor or by embedding webpages for the Channel and ticketing/merchandise.

Events

Create Events for any aspect of the occasion such as panel Q&A’s, keynote speeches, performances, and workshops. Events enable organized engagement surrounding the specific occasion, establish an organized location to provide robust information, and allow the Crowd to stay on top of everything. Hosts can put on virtual or hybrid events that allow those who cannot physically attend the occasion to be a part of the Crowd. They can also augment the experience in a way where people find value and recollect after the event has occurred.

Each Event includes an image, location, date and time, and description. Those attending the occasion can establish a unique roadmap or schedule for their day and bookmark Events to quickly access them. Members of the crowd can also see who else is attending an Event and who they follow that is attending, to meet up with them or build new connections. Private events can be enabled with a custom pin so only certain people have access.

Each Event can have additional information pertaining to the occasion through their editor with embeddable integrations or by embedding webpages. The crowd of attendees can then download, listen, or watch content directly in the platform, purchase merchandise or tickets increasing sales, and learn more about spotlighted sponsors or resources. Video can be recorded to Dropbox, livestreams can be broadcasted on YouTube, and recorded video or presentation slides can be embedded within any Event.

Panelists and speakers involved in the Event can also be easily included. Doing so spreads awareness to their followers and enables them to engage in an organized fashion with interested attendees. If they already have an account, they will be invited to accept the Event within the platform. Otherwise, they will be emailed a link and login pin for access.

Event Engagement & Audience Interaction

Event Q&A:

Q&A is beneficial for many events and one of the favorite aspects of many occasions. Getting in line or passing around a microphone to ask a question is less efficient and effective than using CrowdUltra. Audience interaction apps commonly used like Slido are also limited in comparison to CrowdUltra.

Questions can be allowed to be asked before, during, after, or some combination of the three. Questions can be asked in audio, video, written, or anonymous format. Questions can be asked in general as well as to a specific Host or Speaker.

Questions are displayed in an ordered list from highest to lowest rank based on Crowd voting to assist in showing the Host or moderator what the Crowd has the most curiosity about, saving time. There may be no need for a moderator using CrowdUltra either. Questions can be answered in audio, video, or written format. They can also be marked as answered if they were answered verbally during the event or dismissed to take them off the list and hide them.

Event Posts:

Attendees can be enabled to easily post, share, and connect surrounding the event. Creating this organized environment that sparks interaction increases the effectiveness of social engagement and connection surrounding the event. Posts also enhance the experience allowing the Crowd to share their experience, be creative, have fun, as well as inform and help others.

Event Posts can be enabled before, during, after, or some combination of the three like Q&A. Hosts can allow the Crowd to post audio, video, images, links, YouTube/Vimeo videos, or written posts. Posts can also be posted anonymously if enabled.

Event Posts are shown in an ordered list from highest to lowest rank based on Crowd voting. Every post can be responded to by Hosts and Panelists/Speakers with audio, video, images, links, YouTube/Vimeo videos, or in written format. They can be highlighted as well to show the whole crowd or dismissed to remove from the list.

Event Meet & Greets:

The final way engagement can be enabled is through participating in Meet & Greets with the Crowd. Allow attendees to join an ordered queue or submit their conversation topic to pre-screen. Then engage with one or more attendees via audio or video chat like Zoom. After the conversation has finished, remove them from the chat and be automatically paired with the next person in the queue or select the next interesting topic. The audio or video can be recorded to Dropbox or recorded and livestream broadcast to YouTube as well for future viewing.

Daily Feed:

CrowdUltra also has a daily feed made to enhance engagement by communicating in a powerful way that effectively extends awareness and increases connection. CrowdUltra gives you access to 100% of attendees that follow the occasion instead of <1–10%. It also does not advertise or have algorithms manipulating viewership and effectiveness.

Ask daily questions to those following your Channels and Events in audio, video, or written format. Answer their questions in audio, video, or written format. Also send announcements using their editor with embeddable integrations or repost event information to spotlight the occasion. Announcements keep those interested in the loop to extend awareness and reach.

Additional Features

CrowdUltra also offers additional functionality that is extremely powerful. One example is that Hosts can send emails to everyone following a specific Channel or Event. They can also export information about attendees including their name and email to contact them outside of the platform.
