What Zeva gives your convention
Four things your ticketing platform does not do. Each one is about the people in the building, not the transaction.
Attendee visibility
When one person buys tickets for a group, you lose sight of who actually came. Zeva gives you visibility on every attendee in the building, not the buyer.
Registration and import
Collect registrations on your own event page, or import the orders you already sold. A CSV from your current ticketing platform brings the list over.
An app you can change mid-event
Every other event app is frozen the moment it ships. Zeva's is server driven. Change what attendees see while the doors are open, without an App Store resubmission.
Who came, and who came back
After the event you get registered, attended, and returning, side by side. The first honest answer to whether last year's crowd is still with you.
How it works
Registration, a scanner at the door, and an attendee app that reads from your event instead of a build you shipped weeks ago.
Get the list
Collect registrations on your event page, or import the orders you already sold as a CSV.
Scan them in
Every registration carries a QR code. Your staff scan it at the door on a phone they already own.
Run the day, then read the report
Watch the count climb live, change the app when the schedule moves, and see registered against attended when it is over.
Sample data. Fictional venue. Figures are illustrative.
What you get
Know who was in the room
A group buyer hides everyone behind them. Check-in gives you a name for each person who walked in, not just the person who paid.
Change the app after it ships
Panel Room C moves to Room 210 at 2pm on Saturday. You change the source of truth and announce it in the same tap. No stale schedule contradicting the alert.
Know who came back
Registered, attended, and returning, in one report. Reach the people who showed up before next year's announcement, not the people who only bought.

Request a Pilot
Built by someone who has run the night.
The founder served as a Marine Corps network operator, spent a decade in live event production including venues in Las Vegas, and built a prior hardware startup from the ground up.
Zeva comes from living through the same problem you face at every event. The registration list said one thing, the room said another, and nothing on the floor could tell you which one was true.
Where we are
The product is early. Registration, CSV import, door check-in, the app builder, and the post-event report are what we are building first. Payment processing, badge printing, and a full session agenda are not built and are not promised. We are building in the open with the conventions who join the first cohort.
Questions you might have
What does a pilot involve?
A pilot is a hands-on early partnership. We work with your team through one event start to finish: getting the list in, the door on show day, and the report after. You get early access to the product and a direct line to the founder.
What does it ask of my staff?
Very little. There is no hardware to install. Door staff scan QR codes on phones they already carry, and attendees download the app. We set the event up with you.
Our schedule changes constantly. Does that break the app?
No. That is the point. Every other event app is frozen the moment it ships, so a room change means a printed erratum and a note taped to a door. Zeva's app is server driven. When Panel Room C moves to Room 210 at 2pm on Saturday, you change the schedule and announce it in the same tap. No App Store resubmission, and no stale page contradicting the alert.
What attendee data do you collect?
The registration details each attendee gives you when they sign up, such as name and email, plus the time they were scanned in at the door. It is your data as the organizer. We use it to show you who registered, who attended, and who returned. We do not sell it and we do not use it for advertising.
What stage is the product at?
Early. We are honest about where we are. Registration, import, door check-in, the app builder, and the post-event report are what we are building first. There is no payment processing, no badge printing, and no session agenda yet. We are recruiting the first conventions to shape what comes next.
Do I need to buy new hardware?
No. Check-in runs on the phones your staff already carry. There is nothing to install in the venue and nothing to maintain.
