Four ways to browse
Covers, masonry, grid or carousel — chosen per event, so a gala album and a conference album need not look alike.
Photo and video albums
Curated photo galleries and video collections that attendees browse in the app during the event, not a download link sent out three weeks later when nobody is looking any more.

Why the timing matters
The gallery that arrives a fortnight after the closing session gets opened by almost nobody. The one that fills up during the second afternoon gets shared while the event is still a thing people are talking about.
The pictures exist by lunchtime. What usually delays them is the process between the camera and the audience, not the camera.
A gallery is the most reliably opened screen in an event app, because people look for photographs of themselves and their team.
Highlights are worth most while the event is running, when the audience is assembled and paying attention.
Uploading hundreds of full-resolution photographs is where event galleries usually die.
For attendees
Covers, masonry, grid or carousel — chosen per event, so a gala album and a conference album need not look alike.
Photographs open into a full-screen lightbox with swipe and tap-to-zoom, rather than a thumbnail that gets slightly bigger — and the original can be downloaded from there.
Curated collections of YouTube, Vimeo or other embeddable videos sit alongside the photographs, and each one opens in a full-screen player — so the aftermovie and the session clips have a home.
Content is organised into albums — by day, by track, by gala dinner — instead of a single unsorted stream.
Every photograph is served at a size appropriate to the screen, so a gallery loads on congested venue wifi.
An album you share gets its own link that works outside the app, so attendees can send it to a colleague who was not there.
Album cards to drill into, covers that open straight into the player, a thumbnail grid, or a list where the titles and descriptions lead.
Videos carry a category, and filter chips at the top of the gallery let attendees go straight to keynotes, sponsor films or highlights.
Session recordings, sponsor films and a highlight reel stay in the app to come back to after the event. These are published videos, not a live stream.
For the organizing team
Uploads are compressed in the browser and sent straight to storage, which is what makes putting several hundred photographs up between sessions realistic.
FAQ
Immediately. Photographs are compressed in the browser and uploaded directly to storage rather than passing through a server, so putting a few hundred up between sessions is realistic.
For photos: covers, masonry, grid and carousel. For video: album cards, covers, a thumbnail grid or a list. The layout is chosen per event, and attendees open any photograph into a full-screen viewer with swipe and zoom.
Yes. A photo or video album can be shared by link or embedded on an external site. The link carries an unguessable token, can be given an expiry, and can be revoked without affecting anything else.
Yes. Albums are curated — you reorder photographs, add captions and choose the cover rather than accepting upload order.
Yes. Video albums sit alongside photo albums as curated collections. You add videos by pasting a YouTube, Vimeo or other embeddable link, so there is nothing to upload.
No. Video albums hold published videos — recordings, sponsor films, highlight reels — rather than a live stream. A recording can be added once it is on YouTube, Vimeo or another site that provides an embeddable player.
Each photograph is stored at three sizes and served at the one the screen needs, so browsing stays quick on a congested network.
