Think Waze for people meets Match.com and Foursquare. Users from anywhere can watch real-time videos posted by other users to a venue's CheckN page to see how crowded a venue is and what people there are doing right now. Additionally, the app’s Event Exclusives feature is poised to disrupt the industry for branded engagement at live events of all kinds: music tours, sports stadiums, festivals, conferences, and more as the platform enables venues, celebrities, sports clubs, and brands to digitally message, engage, and offer special consideration (free drinks, music, merchandise, discounts, etc.) exclusively to those who are present at a venue - right now - expanding and improving the live event experience for fans, and increasing revenue for venues, artists, and brands. The patent-pending CheckN app is live in both the iOS App Store and Google Play Store and has been extensively tested in a series of larger and larger live-alpha rounds in the wild, with exceptional, viral results. Final trials are currently taking place in Miami in anticipation of official launch in December 2023. Show less
