CAZ exhibition guide
What still works when venue Wi-Fi fails?
A local exhibition application can show many things without internet access, but running in a browser does not automatically make it offline-ready. Images, films, data and fonts need appropriate delivery. For every function, first establish whether it needs a connection and what happens without one.
Separate local and connected functions
Product overviews, prepared films and editorial information can often be delivered locally. Live stock, external maps, sign-in and message delivery frequently need connectivity. Make that boundary visible in the interface. An unavailable service should not block the local product selection.
Deliver a clear content version
Bundle approved files and data into an identifiable local edition. Include a version and update procedure. A different image collection or unfinished product list should not silently replace it shortly before the event. Agree who approves updates and how they reach each device.
Distinguish a shortlist from delivery
A shortlist may exist only on the device. A submitted form is a real transfer whose success must be confirmed. Never show an invented delivery success while offline. If later transmission is required, storage, retry, access and deletion need an agreed process. Many exhibition applications do not need personal data at all.
Rehearse failure before the event
Test a cold start without connectivity, not only disconnecting after loading. Then test restart, media and the main flows. A spare device or simplified presentation may also help. CAZ plans software and content for the agreed operation, with on-site fallback arrangements defined together.
Your preparation checklist.
- List every external dependency.
- Identify local content and live functions.
- Start offline and restart the device.
- Confirm delivery only after actual success.
