BuddySOS for conventions and conferences
Find your team between sessions without wasting half a day.
What it is
BuddySOS is a group coordination app for conventions and large industry conferences. It provides real-time GPS location and one-tap SOS for teams, friend groups, and event staff spread across a convention venue.
Big conventions and conferences (Comic-Con, CES, SXSW, Dreamforce) spread across multiple halls, hotels, and offsite venues. A BuddySOS group keeps each person locatable in real time, so you can stop wasting break time hunting each other down.
Why standard apps fall short here
- Sessions end at slightly different times. Coordinating lunch is a nightmare.
- Venue maps are dense and confusing for first-time attendees.
- Texts get lost in larger work threads.
- Big convention crowds are physically tiring. Easy to get separated in.
What BuddySOS gives you
- Live map shows where each group member is. Which hall. Which floor.
- One-tap SOS for anyone who needs help.
- Private to your team. Not visible to other attendees.
- Battery Saver Mode for long convention days.
