Our Story
At gaming and geek conventions such as Anime Expo, SDCC, and PAX you're surrounded by tons of cool and interesting people who share your passions. But how do you go about meeting them? How do you make new friends?
Shout Around is THE app that helps brings the convention community together and build genuine friendships. Shout Around provides a simple way to connect nearby friends and followers with geolocation. You can send private messages, create public “Shouts” to tell everyone who’s following you what’s going on, Check-in at events to unlock badges, add photos and customize your profile with Skins, and add new friends using QR code without giving out your personal info.
We love going to conventions and making new friends, let's make it even more exciting!

Giveaway
NEVER MISS OUT ON BEING A WINNER
Entering giveaways at events has never been easier, all you have to do is scan the QR code at the booth and YOU'RE IN! The app will even provide you with information on booth number and giveaways drawing time. No more needing to look for a pen and write in your information on a small piece of paper with even smaller space that never fits your email address (so you have to start writing on the next line and then cross out ".com" because it looks like some weird spoonful of alphabet soup when you run out of space), or trying your best not to lose a small piece of red ticket that always fall out of wallets or pockets.
...and a lot more!
