The leaders of zkipster hate to wait in lines and know guests do too. zkipster provides an easy-to-use event check-in app – eliminating paper lists and helping guests around the world, from the Oscars and Fashion Week to local store openings and community gatherings, move seamlessly into their event.
“zkipster helps every event professional create a reliable, organized, and efficient list that makes check-in easy,” said AnnMari Shannahan, Vice President of Information for amfAR. “With a simple update on any tablet, we can easily change or update a guest's table assignment. And the change is instantaneous, and happens across all tablets with the click of the refresh button. Guests are never the wiser.”
"The implementation and design of the zkipster app really takes advantage of the Windows platform’s unique features including cloud integration, allowing for seamless event check-in across all users especially when combined with the power of Surface devices, providing the perfect tools for an event such as the amfAR Inspiration Gala,” said Todd Brix, general manager, Windows Apps and Store, Microsoft Corp. “amfAR is leading the effort to fund lifesaving AIDS research and we are proud to work with zkipster to help them reach that goal."
The Inspiration Gala will deliver the prestigious Award of Inspiration to the steadfast AIDS activist HRH Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway, and two companies that have made a profound impact on the state of AIDS research: HBO and Calvin Klein Collection.
