Festival communication and visitor coordination

Who is this band?
Where are my friends?

XIP Events combines an internal live messaging board, a private festival social network and a non-tracking visitor coordination tool.

Communication across the site. SCROLL TO EXPLORE

Festival communication is fragmented.

Information is spread
across too many channels.

Social media, WhatsApp groups, printed signs, separate event apps, radio and staff coordination all do a piece of the job—but none of them see the whole site.

That makes it harder to communicate quickly, coordinate venues and understand how visitors are moving through the event.
