Case Study: Christian Union improves conference communication and saves 83% with Attendify

How a Faith-Based Non-Profit Used an Event App to Improve Conference Communication

Christian Union is a faith-based non-profit that develops leaders among undergraduates and young alumni at top universities, running campus programming for more than 1,550 students and a rebranded annual conference, Nexus, with nearly 500 attendees. For the 2016 conference they wanted to eliminate the printed program, cut costs, and improve real-time communication between staff and students.

They used the Attendify event app to deliver speaker bios, schedules, and push notifications, replacing the $5,606 printed booklet they produced in 2014 and saving 83% on conference communication. With a 92% app adoption rate, organizers were able to update sessions and room changes on the fly, alert attendees instantly about a last‑minute plenary delay, and plan to use features like instant polling to better capture attendee feedback.
