Client Overview

The International Exhibition for National Security & Resilience (ISNR) is a networking platform held in Abu Dhabi, dedicated to showcasing innovations and fostering dialogue in national security, cybersecurity, policing, and law enforcement. The event connects government entities, security experts, private exhibitors, stakeholders and decision-makers from across the region.

The Challenge

ISNR needed a cross-platform mobile application (iOS & Android) with a web-based admin panel to support real-time interaction between exhibition visitors and national/cybersecurity experts. The goal:

  • Simplify navigation through the sprawling venue
  • Enable quick access to exhibitor and conference details
  • Enhance real-time communication
  • Facilitate strategic networking and knowledge sharing

In short, they envisioned a smart companion app that mirrors the scale, complexity, and sophistication of ISNR itself.

Branex Solution Overview

Branex designed and developed an intuitive, modular mobile application for iOS and Android platforms, backed by a powerful web-based admin panel to manage dynamic content and user engagement. Our approach emphasized usability, networking facilitation, and real-time access to exhibition-related data.

Goals & Objectives

  • Streamline user journey through easy navigation of exhibits, sessions, and halls
  • Allow attendees to discover exhibitors, products, speakers, and topics of interest
  • Provide organizers full control over event content, users, and notifications via Admin Panel
  • Support real-time updates and communication with users
  • Boost networking through features like Business Connect and Innovative Products

User-Centric Design Thinking
Approach

Empathize

Define

We pinpointed key pain points:

  • Difficulty in locating exhibitors

Prototype & Test

Using Figma, we prototyped app flows and ran usability testing with ISNR stakeholders. Feedback led to improved UI spacing, simplified tabs, and clearer CTAs for navigation and discovery.
