8. Make sure all 'App content' is filled
Before attendees are onboarded to the App make sure everything is filled and looking good!
Areas too watch out for:

Speaker and Exhibitor profiles - Have these users got a description, relevant contact information and a profile picture?
The programme - Does every programme have a image, description, location and relevant speakers/ exhibitors connected to it?
