How Create With Built a Conference App in Just 3 Days

In 2024, James Devonport and Kieran Ball organized the UK's first no-code conference, initially using a mix of various tools for 170 attendees. By 2025, their rebranded Create With conference doubled its attendance to 350, powered entirely by a custom-built platform created on Bubble, including a mobile app developed in just three days. This app achieved a 95% adoption rate among attendees, a remarkable feat given the typically low engagement with conference apps. The platform incorporated features like AI-powered matchmaking, session recommendations, and QR-enabled smart badges, all of which contributed to the event's success and offered significant cost savings compared to traditional solutions. Beyond conferences, Create With has expanded its platform to support international meetups, demonstrating the flexibility and scalability of their Bubble-based system. This initiative has positioned Create With as an exemplary case of using no-code tools to build effective, cost-efficient event technology.
