About the Branded Attendee App

If you would like to have your conference’s custom-branded version of our Conference Attendee app, then the ‘Branded App’ add-on service is for you. This webpage tells you more about this service and the steps you need to follow to get it.

With your branded Mobile Apps, you will have your conference’s app name (usually your organization or event’s name), your app logo, description, and color. The app will appear as your conference app which you and your clients can download and use. Keep in mind that there are two versions of Conference Attendee: an iOS version for Apple mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch), and an Android version for Android mobile devices. The former is available on the Apple iOS store, while the latter is available on the Google Play store. Under our branded app service, we will create a branded version of both the iOS and Android app for you and we will submit each one to its corresponding store.

As far as functionality, the branded app will behave exactly like the Conference Attendee app. The app will get its data from the Conference Tracker system and thus it will remain functional while your Conference Tracker account is still active.

Here is an outline of the process for getting your branded version of the iOS and Android apps:

Open an Apple developer account. This step is necessary to submit and publish the app in the Apple iOS store under your conference or company brand.
Open an Android developer account. This step is necessary for submitting and publishing the app in the Google Play store under conference or company brand.
Invite us to manage your Apple app and your Google Play account. This will enable us to submit the branded apps under your account.
Let us know what you want for the customized items shown below.

Please note that while the above process is simple, it might take some time to complete all the steps to open your iOS and Android developer accounts, get the apps customized, and then get them reviewed and published under your accounts. Because of this, you should allow at least one month from the start of this process until the branded apps are published and ready to be used. If you are in a hurry, make sure to complete your steps as quickly as possible.

What will be Customized?

We will change the app’s logo from the Conference Attendee logo to the logos you submit to us.
We will change the app name from “Conference Attendee” to the name of your choice. Most people use their organization name or event name. The name should be short as the number of letters displayed under the icon is limited.
We will change the title at the top of the screen from “Conference Attendee” to the name of your choice. Keep in mind that the name needs to be short to be fully visible.
We will also change the color at the top of the screen from green to the color of your choice.

Important requirements

Before your branded mobile app can be published to the Apple & Google app stores, you will need to register and open a developer account for each platform:

Apple (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch)

For the Apple App Store, you will need to enroll in the Apple Developer Program under your company name and grant us (Engineerica) permission to manage your developer account so we can publish your app on your behalf. Note that this requires that you pay an annual fee (currently $99) to Apple.

Important: You must be enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an ‘Organization‘, not as an ‘Individual’. This is so you can invite us to manage the app on behalf of your organization.

Google Play (Android)

For the Google Play store (Android devices), you will need to register to the Google Play Console by signing in with your Google Account, accepting the developer agreement, paying the $25 registration fee then completing your details. Once this is established, you need to invite us to manage the apps on your behalf.

Specs of files needed for the branding

To brand the Apple and Android apps with your logos, we will need the following files:
