Photo and video albums

The photos, while the event
is still happening.

Curated albums 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

Event photos have a half-life of about a week

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.

Photographers shoot all day

The pictures exist by lunchtime. What usually delays them is the process between the camera and the audience, not the camera.

Attendees want to see themselves

A gallery is the most reliably opened screen in an event app, because people look for photographs of themselves and their team.

Marketing wants them immediately

Highlights are worth most while the event is running, when the audience is assembled and paying attention.

Big files are the whole problem

Uploading hundreds of full-resolution photographs is where event galleries usually die.

For attendees

A gallery that behaves like a gallery

Four ways to browse

Covers, masonry, grid or carousel — chosen per event, so a gala album and a conference album need not look alike.

A proper full-screen viewer

Photographs open into a full-screen lightbox with swipe and zoom, rather than a thumbnail that gets slightly bigger.

Video albums as well

Curated video collections sit alongside the photographs, so the aftermovie and the session clips have a home.

Albums, not one dump

Content is organised into albums — by day, by track, by gala dinner — instead of a single unsorted stream.

Fast on a venue network

Every photograph is served at a size appropriate to the screen, so a gallery loads on congested venue wifi.

Shareable outward

An album can be shared beyond the app, so attendees can send a photograph to a colleague who was not there.

For the organizing team

Drag photographs in, choose a layout, publish

Uploads are compressed in the browser and sent straight to storage, which is what makes putting several hundred photographs up between sessions realistic.

FAQ

Photo Album questions

How quickly can photographs go up during an event?

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.

What layouts are available?

Covers, masonry, grid and carousel. The layout is chosen per event, and attendees open any photograph into a full-screen viewer with swipe and zoom.

Can we share an album outside the app?

Yes. An 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.

Can we control the order and the captions?

Yes. Albums are curated — you reorder photographs, add captions and choose the cover rather than accepting upload order.

Is there video as well?

Yes. Video albums sit alongside photo albums as curated collections.

Will a big gallery be slow on venue wifi?

Each photograph is stored at three sizes and served at the one the screen needs, so browsing stays quick on a congested network.
