FAQs
Does VIKIN work when offline? My venue has no signal!
We built VIKIN from the ground-up to be offline-first. This means all data is stored in the app, so as soon as it's installed your attendees will have everything they need.
Our bespoke content distribution platform is proven to work in low-connectivity conditions, so even with poor signal you can still send out updates! With multiple ways for us to get updates to your attendees, you can rest easy knowing that your app will just work.

- High attendee engagement, with significant app adoption across all demographics.
- Positive feedback from attendees, vendors, event organisers and staff.

Is it difficult to get started?
Not at all! We work closely with you to ensure you have the support you need to get the most out of the VIKIN platform.
I'm using Crescat - can I import my data from there?
Of course! You can connect your Crescat account to VIKIN and whenever you make a change in Crescat, you can use our one-click import tool to keep your VIKIN app in sync. You remain in control - nothing is published to attendees without you knowing.

Won't an app distract from my event?
We don't want our app to be the focus - we designed VIKIN to make it effortless for attendees to quickly find the information they need, so they can put away the phone and enjoy the event.
Our dashboard is the first thing attendees will see, and with location- and time-aware information, they won't need to dig around to find what they want.

I'm concerned about attendee's personal data, what personal information do you track?
We do not track attendee's personal data. Instead, our analytics & event insights tooling uses anonymised aggregated data from across your entire event, so you can get the insights you need to help improve your event.
Is VIKIN eco-friendly?
Our platform is built for efficiency. We don't have massive data centres, and our app is designed to preserve battery life. Our business is conscious about preserving our planet for future generations.
By using VIKIN on phones that are already switched on, rather than printing setlists and information on paper, your event can move away from single-use setlists.
