Conference Pilot Program

Give every attendee a travel app. On us.

Onyva is a branded travel and packing app. Attendees open one link and their conference trip is already set up, in your colors and with your logo.

Complimentary for your next conference. No IT work, no app store.

What Attendees Get

Their trip, ready before they pack.

A premium, ad-free tool that makes your conference easier to travel to, and makes your organization look good doing it.

The conference, preloaded

Dates, destination, and venue are already in the app when they open it.

A checklist built for the trip

Packing lists matched to the destination's weather and to the event itself.

Before-you-go reminders

Housing, session planning, and the small tasks that are easy to forget.

No download, no sign-up

It opens in the browser and saves to the home screen. No ads, ever.

It Keeps Working After Closing Day

An audience that grows every year you continue.

A typical event app is only useful for a few days. Onyva is a travel tool, so attendees keep it on their phones for every trip they take, with your logo on it. Each year you continue, a new class of attendees joins the ones already using it.

  • Your brand on every trip they takeNot just the week of your conference, but every business trip and vacation after it.
  • Returning attendees are already set upNext year, your regulars don't have to find and install anything new.
  • Sponsor reach that compoundsA bigger audience every year makes the presenting sponsorship worth more every year.
How The Pilot Works

We do the work. You send the link.

  1. We build your branded app

    Your logo and colors, with your conference and a destination-specific checklist loaded in.

  2. You review and approve it

    Open it on your phone and tell us what to change.

  3. You share it with attendees

    We give you paste-ready copy and a QR code for your "what you need to know" emails and onsite signage.

  4. We report the results

    After the event, you get a one-page report on how attendees used it.

What we ask in return

  • A 20-minute debrief after the event
  • Permission to share the results as a case study
  • A conversation about AV production for your future events

Pilot terms: complimentary for one conference, through 30 days after the event. After that, keep it as a subscription or as a sponsor-presented perk.

The Non-Dues Revenue Angle

Year one, it's a gift. Year two, it's revenue.

Sponsors want to reach attendees before the exhibit hall opens. Onyva is the app attendees open while they book travel and pack, weeks before they arrive. That makes a "presented by" placement sponsorship inventory you can sell.

Pilot year

Launch it free

We provide the branded app at no cost and track how attendees use it.

After the event

Get the proof

Your usage report shows reach and engagement, the numbers sponsors ask for.

Next prospectus

Offer the spot

Add a "Travel app presented by" sponsorship to next year's sponsor packages.

Year two

Keep the difference

The sponsorship covers the app. Anything above that is non-dues revenue.

Your AV Department
A Product of Your AV Department

AV production sourcing, at no cost to you.

Your AV Department provides independent AV production sourcing and project management for national associations and corporate groups. We're paid on the vendor side, never by marking up your costs, and we negotiate on your behalf.

We built Onyva because the attendee experience starts long before anyone walks into the general session.

Questions

Good to know.

Is the pilot really free?

Yes. The branded app is complimentary for one conference, through 30 days after the event. We ask for a short debrief, permission to share results, and a conversation about your AV needs.

Do attendees need to download anything or create an account?

No. The app opens from a link in the browser, and attendees can save it to their home screen. No sign-up is required.

What happens to attendee data?

Onyva has no ads and we never sell attendee data. Your usage report shows totals, not individual attendees.

How much work is it for our team?

Very little. We build the app and write the copy. Your team approves it and adds the link to the emails you're already sending.

Do attendees keep using it after the conference?

Yes. Onyva works for any trip, so attendees keep using it long after your event, with your logo on it. Each year you continue, new attendees join the existing audience.

What happens after the pilot?

You can continue with a subscription or turn it into a sponsor-presented perk, and your branded audience keeps growing each year you continue. If it ends, nothing breaks: attendees keep their lists and the app switches to standard branding.
