Chatting with Other Attendees at your Event

Use the in-app chat feature to stay connected and engage with other attendees throughout the event!  With this feature, you can send and receive messages with other users who have opted to share their profiles in the event app.

Cadmium has created an attendee guide which explains how to enable and use the Chat feature. The attendee guide can be edited to include your logo and the name and phone number of the primary technical support person at your event. 

How to Enable the Chat Feature and Be Discoverable

To participate in chat, attendees must share their profile.  By default, attendees will not have their profile shared until they choose to do so.
