Black Flag Events
Your Festival Companion
Your Event. Your Identity. A Better Guest Experience.
From the first attraction to the final performance, Black Flag Events helps visitors discover, explore, and engage with everything your event has to offer. A customizable mobile companion brings schedules, vendors, navigation, and interactive experiences together in a platform built around your festival.
One Platform. Your Event.
No two events are alike. Your mobile experience shouldn’t be either.
Black Flag Events is designed to adapt to your festival’s personality, priorities, and audience. From community celebrations and arts festivals to Highland games and themed events, each experience can feature its own branding, schedules, attractions, vendors, and interactive activities.

Your Event. Your Vision. Our Platform.
Every event has its own character, audience, and priorities. Black Flag Events gives organizers the flexibility to create a branded mobile experience that complements their festival rather than forcing it into a generic template.
From the features guests use to the opportunities available for vendors and sponsors, the platform is designed to support your event’s goals.
Your Event's Identity
Your event deserves more than a generic app. Black Flag Events adapts its colors, typography, branding, and presentation to reflect your festival’s unique identity, creating an experience that feels like a natural extension of your event.

Explore how each feature can enhance the visitor experience while supporting the goals of your festival.
Schedules & Activities
Browse at a Glance. Explore with a Tap.
Black Flag Events makes discovering your festival’s activities simple and intuitive. Guests begin with an easy-to-browse schedule showing the day’s performances, competitions, demonstrations, workshops, and other activities.
Interested in something? A single tap opens a dedicated detail page with additional information about the activity, including its description, scheduled time, and location.
Guests can save activities that interest them and set reminders, creating a personalized festival experience that helps them make the most of their visit.
For event organizers, this means more than publishing a schedule. It provides an opportunity to introduce guests to activities they might otherwise overlook, showcase the variety of event programming, and encourage greater participation.
Maps & Navigation
Find Your Way There. Discover What's Here.
Getting to your festival and finding your way around should be simple. Black Flag Events helps guests navigate both the journey to your event and the experience once they arrive.
For parking, guests can access directions using the mapping software available on their phone, making it easier to reach designated parking areas without needing a separate navigation system.
Once at the event, an event map helps visitors discover their surroundings. Vendors, attractions, and important locations can be identified and highlighted, giving guests a convenient way to find what interests them.
For event organizers, this creates an opportunity to make the festival grounds easier to explore, improve visibility for participating vendors, and help visitors discover destinations they might otherwise miss.
Vendors, Exhibitors & Participants
Every Participant Has a Story Worth Discovering.
Black Flag Events can be tailored to showcase the people, businesses, and groups that make your event unique.
From food vendors and artisans to competition teams, exhibitors, and participating organizations, event directories can help guests discover who’s taking part and learn more about them.
Visitors can browse entries, explore individual profiles, and identify associated locations on the event map where applicable.
For organizers, this flexibility creates opportunities to highlight competitors, promote participating businesses, and encourage visitors to explore more of the event.
Whether your event features dozens of vendors, a barbecue championship, or a collection of artists and exhibitors, the directory experience can be designed around the participants you want guests to discover.
Personalized Planning
Your Festival. Your Favorites. Your Schedule.
Every guest experiences a festival differently. Black Flag Events lets visitors personalize their experience by saving activities that interest them and keeping those selections together in one convenient place.
When guests discover an activity they want to attend, they can save it directly from its detail page. They can also select reminders to alert them before the activity begins, with options for 5, 15, or 30 minutes in advance.
Saved activities give visitors a convenient way to revisit their choices, helping them organize their day around the performances, competitions, and experiences they don’t want to miss.
For organizers, personalized planning helps turn discovery into participation. Instead of simply browsing an event schedule, guests can make plans to experience more of what the festival has to offer.
What's Happening
Be in the Moment. Know What's Next.
Festivals are full of activities happening throughout the day. Black Flag Events is being developed to help guests discover what’s happening now and what’s coming up next without searching through the entire event schedule.
With time-aware scheduling enabled, the What’s Happening feature can highlight activities currently underway and upcoming events, giving visitors a convenient snapshot of the festival as it unfolds.
For guests, this means discovering experiences they might otherwise miss and making spontaneous decisions about what to enjoy next.
For organizers, it offers another way to draw attention to ongoing activities, encourage participation, and help visitors make the most of their time at the event.
Interactive Experiences
Don't Just Attend. Become Part of the Experience.
Black Flag Events can go beyond schedules, maps, and directories by incorporating interactive experiences designed around the character of your event.
Imagine guests exploring festival attractions, participating in special activities, discovering cultural traditions, or collecting digital recognition as they progress through an event.
The Scottish Clan Passport Program demonstrates this approach. Visitors explore participating clans, learn about their histories and traditions, and receive digital recognition through QR codes or NFC interactions at clan locations. Their experiences become part of an ongoing personal record of Scottish heritage exploration.
The possibilities extend beyond heritage festivals. Interactive experiences could be developed around themed celebrations, educational programs, competitions, and other events where participation adds something memorable to the visit.
For organizers, these experiences provide opportunities to encourage exploration, highlight participating groups, and create stronger connections between guests and the event itself.
