Gather by MailChimp app for iPhone and iPad

Text alerts for events from the people who brought you MailChimp

Things happen fast at conferences and events. If youre a host, you might have important updates to get to your attendees and speakers, but no time to wait on a wifi connection or coffee break. Gather lets you text your guests as a group, and they can reply individually to you. Manage all your messages in one place so nothing gets lost. And as always, well keep your data safe. Phone numbers are removed from Gather when the event is over.

* Pick a Gather phone number, so you can keep your personal number private.

* Create a public form for your event. Then you can link it with a MailChimp list to invite your subscribers.

* Send guests a link to your Gather event form, where they can sign up to receive text alerts.

* Text the whole group at once. Guests can text you back, with no app or setup required.
