OConnect 16.0.25

OConnect: a modern event management app for organizers and attendees

OConnect by STAR is a mobile-first event management platform that helps organizers plan, run and measure conferences, trade shows and corporate events. Built around attendee engagement and simple device control, the app combines personalized schedules, real-time notifications, networking tools and content delivery in a single, customizable interface.

What it does best

OConnect centralizes event communications so attendees get the right information at the right time. Organizers can publish session details, resources and speaker bios while sending targeted push notifications to drive attendance and reduce no-shows. The platform emphasizes discoverability—attendees can find sessions, speakers and exhibitor content quickly, bookmark items to a personalized itinerary, and receive automatic reminders.

Attendee experience and engagement

The app encourages active participation via built-in engagement tools: live polling, Q&A, feedback forms and content downloads. Networking is simplified with contact exchange features and attendee directories, making it easy to connect before, during and after sessions. Offline access to schedules and downloaded resources helps attendees stay productive when connectivity is limited.

Organizer controls and customization

Event administrators get a streamlined content management interface for uploading agendas, speaker assets and exhibitor materials. Role-based permissions and configurable event templates let teams scale OConnect from small meetings to multi-track conferences. Firmware- and device-style control metaphors (inspired by consumer device apps) make pairing devices like onsite kiosks or attendee badge readers straightforward.

Data, notifications and reliability

OConnect captures attendance patterns, session popularity and engagement metrics to inform post-event reporting and future programming. Real-time push notifications and in-app alerts help organizers communicate schedule changes or urgent updates. The app focuses on secure data handling and encrypted transmissions to protect attendee information while enabling meaningful analytics.
