Welcome & How to Use This Demo App
Welcome to the Frontier Summit demo experience.
This first session explains how to explore the demo conference app. In a real event, this space might be used for registration instructions or attendee onboarding. For this demo, it's a quick guide so you can understand how Conference Cowboy works.
Things to try while browsing:
• Explore the agenda and open several sessions to see detailed descriptions.
• Browse attendee profiles to understand how networking works.
• Look at events with prices or capacity limits to see how ticket upgrades and paid experiences appear in the app.
• Check how venues organize the schedule across different locations.
Conference Cowboy is designed to help organizers run calm, well-structured events while giving attendees an app they actually want to use. The demo you're browsing is a simplified but realistic conference experience so you can explore how everything fits together.
Take a few minutes to browse the schedule, profiles, and venues — the app itself is part of the story.
Opening Keynote: The Modern Event Stack
The last decade has changed how conferences are built. In this opening keynote we explore the modern event stack and how thoughtful software and operational design create calm, engaging experiences for attendees.
Talk: Attention Is the New Venue
Modern conferences compete for attention as much as space. This session explores how digital tools, schedules, and environments shape attendee engagement.
Talk: Ticket Upgrades Without Being Sleazy
Ticket upgrades can dramatically increase event revenue when done right. Learn how to design upgrade ladders that feel valuable rather than pushy.
Rooftop Welcome Social
Kick off Frontier Summit with a relaxed rooftop gathering overlooking the city. Drinks, music, and easy introductions make this the perfect way to start meeting fellow attendees.
Event Organizers Coffee Circle
Running events can feel surprisingly lonely — every conference has its own behind-the-scenes chaos that most attendees never see.
This informal coffee meetup is for organizers, community builders, and anyone involved in running events.
We'll talk about things like:
• managing the thousand small details that make events work
• working with sponsors without compromising attendee experience
• designing schedules that actually flow
• lessons learned from events that didn’t go as planned
Whether you run a 50-person meetup or a 1,000-person conference, you're welcome to join.
Keynote: Designing for Retention
Why do some conferences stay with you long after they end? This keynote explores how product design thinking can be applied to live experiences to create lasting engagement.
Panel: What Actually Drives Sponsor ROI
Operators and sponsors discuss what actually creates value for sponsors — from meaningful conversations to long-term partnerships.
Workshop: Building a Sponsor Offer That Sells
A hands-on workshop helping organizers craft sponsor packages that clearly communicate value and make decision-making easy.
Talk: Messaging at Scale
Push notifications and email can help keep attendees informed without overwhelming them. Learn how to communicate clearly during events.
Calm Event Operations
Many events feel chaotic behind the scenes — spreadsheets everywhere, WhatsApp groups exploding, and organizers juggling ten different tools.
This meetup is a conversation about how to run calmer, more organized conferences.
We'll discuss practical approaches to:
• centralizing communication with attendees
• reducing operational stress during live events
• giving speakers and sponsors clear visibility
• designing systems that actually support organizers
If you're interested in building events that feel smooth instead of stressful, this is a great place to exchange ideas.
Rooftop Night: Tango & Toasts
An unforgettable Buenos Aires evening featuring music, dancing, and conversations that continue long after the conference sessions end.

Discover the key metrics that help organizers evaluate success after a conference ends, from attendee engagement to sponsor outcomes.
Workshop: Schedule Design That Flows
Turn chaotic planning spreadsheets into elegant conference programs that guide attendees naturally through the event.
Panel: From One Event to a Year-Round Community

Closing Ceremony
Reflections, highlights, and a look ahead to the future of Frontier Summit.
The Future of Conference Apps
Event apps have come a long way over the past decade — but many organizers still struggle with tools that feel clunky, confusing, or designed for enterprise trade shows rather than real communities.
This meetup is an open discussion about what the next generation of conference tools should look like.
Topics might include:
• what attendees actually use during events
• balancing simplicity with powerful features
• white-label experiences vs generic event platforms
• how technology can support community rather than distract from it
Bring your ideas, frustrations, and experiences with different platforms.
