- What Flock is
- Flock Eventing Platform is event management software for physical, virtual and hybrid events. It covers event websites, RSVP management, branded emails, a mobile event app, onsite check-in, LeadScan, WhatsApp for Events, live streaming and event analytics on one central platform.
- How Flock is delivered
- Flock is a hosted platform with a mobile event app on iOS, Android and Huawei AppGallery. Clients can run it themselves or have Flock’s team manage setup, content and onsite delivery. It does not require a CRM.
