Gjests (pronounced “yasts”) is the Norwegian word for guest. The Web and mobile app launched in beta in July and will be available to everyone in March. Organizers use the Web platform to create their events by adding information such as the event name, location, time, capacity, information for a confirmation email to guests, and whether it is public or private. Hosts also upload their guest list, either manually or by linking an existing list, and then the system sends out invitations. At the event, organizers can use the Gjest mobile app to add guests, scan barcodes to check guests in, and receive notifications when the event is at capacity or when specific guests arrive (for example a V.I.P.). By March, planners will be able to create their events in the app, and the system will also add ticket sales management and the ability to be used in offline mode. Gjests is available for iOS and Android.
