The Project at a Glance

Folsom Europe started in 2004 with just 3,500 queer visitors from Europe and North America. Fast forward to today, and the event is expecting a staggering 25,000 visitors from all six continents, making it the largest leather and fetish event in Europe. This year’s edition, the 21st, features 92 attractions spread across five days — from Wednesday, September 11th to Sunday, September 15th — all happening in the vibrant city of Berlin.

With so much to see and do, a digital guide that fits right in your pocket is essential. While printed guides and websites have served their purpose, the Folsom Europe app offers built-in reminders, real-time notifications, and automatic updates for last-minute changes—making sure you never miss a beat.

Design & Development: Bringing the App to Life

Initial Sketch

Creating the Folsom Europe app was both exciting and challenging. We wanted to introduce new visitors to the event while offering a comprehensive yet user-friendly multi-day programme for seasoned attendees.

One of the biggest challenges? Keeping everyone informed. Event details can change on the fly, and we knew visitors needed those updates in real-time. That’s why we integrated automatic updates, notifications from organizers, and event reminders into the app.

And, of course, we didn't stop there. We added a handy map feature to help you navigate Berlin with ease—whether you're jumping from one event to another, searching for nearby hotels, or hunting down the perfect piece of merch.

Initial Sketch

Our development team worked tirelessly to bring this app to life, and the results speak for themselves. Available for both Android and iOS, we also built a web-based companion programme, accessible directly from the Folsom Europe website. The app's basic version was up and running within a month, and through iterative development and close collaboration with the Folsom Europe team, we fine-tuned every detail to ensure the best user experience.

Looking Ahead

We’re always eager to hear from our users. Have feedback or ideas for what you'd like to see in the Folsom Europe app next year? We'd love to hear them! Stay tuned for updates and exciting new features coming your way.
