Branded Spaces: Launch a Custom, Mobile Event Experience In Minutes

With Guidebook it’s easy to welcome new and returning students to campus each new academic year. In addition to the schedule of events, Bournemouth University uses its campus app to share ways to get involved, academic resources, and tools for navigating campus. Students can use in-app tools to create personalized schedules and to-do lists, ensuring a smooth start to the semester.

Supporting three distinct career fairs, Guidebook helps the University of North Florida provide students with a streamlined experience tailored to each event’s audience. The career fair event app serves as a one-stop shop for employer details, including company websites, job opportunities, and contact information. Premium employers gain extra visibility through sponsor ads, while interactive maps make navigating the exhibit hall easy for attendees. Students can also save favorite employers and take notes, ensuring they stay organized and prepared for follow-ups after the event.

Charleston Southern University uses Guidebook year round as a resource for students to find activities, sporting events, fitness schedules, and anything related to student life.

When Indiana Tech replaced printed materials with a Guidebook app, the results were immediate and impossible to ignore:

- 105% increase in student yield from Admitted Students Day attendees (from 40% to 82%).
- A process that once took 5 team members 400+ hours was drastically reduced to just 2 people and less than 25 hours.

Fewer hours? Check.
Less paper? Definitely.
More students saying yes? Absolutely.

Now that’s a faster process, a smoother experience, and a major upgrade for everyone involved.

Spelman College uses Guidebook to support events across the entire student journey, from Admissions and Orientation, to Commencement and Alumni gatherings. This full-lifecycle approach keeps students informed at every stage while helping families and alumni stay connected. Schedule tracks make it easy to navigate events, even with hundreds of attendees on campus. Plus, with real-time push notifications, last-minute changes are communicated instantly, ensuring a smooth experience for everyone.

Coastal Carolina University uses Guidebook to power a fully paperless orientation experience for one of its largest incoming classes yet (with over 70% of students arriving from out of state, many for the very first time).

Inside the app, students and families can:

- Navigate an unfamiliar campus with interactive maps and turn-by-turn guidance.
- Follow real-time schedules that update instantly when plans change.
- Stay on separate family and student tracks to keep parallel programming clear.
- Access next steps like family weekend registration and pre-arrival task lists.
- Download the app right at check-in via QR code.

The result is a more confident, connected, and campus-ready incoming class (and the analytics to prove people are genuinely using it).
