How to reduce your event’s ecological footprint with an event app

Stacks of printed programs, maps that become outdated after a single change, and flyers that end up in the trash by the hundreds. For organizers, this feels not only inefficient but also unnecessarily harmful to the environment. At the same time, the pressure is increasing to make events more sustainable and future-proof, without sacrificing convenience or attendee experience. An event app offers the solution: all information and interaction available digitally, instantly accessible, and with far less environmental impact.

Less paper, more convenience

Sustainable organizing often starts with something simple: reducing printed materials. Where once kilos of paper were required, an event app gives participants everything they need digitally, right at their fingertips. From the program and personal agenda to maps, speaker information, and interactive features such as polls or surveys. This not only reduces paper waste but also eliminates the time-consuming and costly logistics that come with printing.

Real-time updates instead of reprints

A program change or last-minute announcement? Without an app, you often have to print new materials or improvise with flyers and notices. An event app allows you to communicate updates instantly and digitally. It’s not only more efficient, it also avoids unnecessary printing and transport.

Smart interaction without waste

With an event app, participants can actively engage through Q&As, live polls, and networking features. This means you no longer need additional materials such as forms or feedback cards. It also enhances attendee engagement and experience, without adding environmental impact.

Sustainable travel and networking

An event app can also contribute to more sustainable travel. Think of sharing travel information, carpool options, or encouraging public transport. The app also enables digital networking, reducing the need for printed items such as business cards. Participants carry a personal QR badge that can be easily scanned, instantly displaying a lead in their app so contact details can be exchanged in real time. This creates a sustainable, efficient, and paperless way of networking.

Digital team planning

Sustainable organizing also means working efficiently and planning smartly. With the team planner feature in Networkapp, organizers can see at a glance who is where, which tasks are scheduled, and where extra help is needed. No more endless Excel sheets or printed schedules, but one central digital overview that can be updated in real time.

Small choice, big impact

By consciously choosing an event app, you take an important step as an organizer toward more sustainable events. You reduce waste, make processes more efficient, and show that you take sustainability seriously.
