A method and system for providing group interaction modes in a local area network (LAN) for attendees of an event having mobile devices capable of communicating with the local area network is disclosed. One aspect includes providing a shared data pool on the LAN with data created by a provider of the event prior to the event; and providing the LAN with a group mode. The group mode includes functions for enabling attendees to create user data pools on the LAN from their mobile devices during the event; enabling a mobile device to upload digital image data captured during the event to the LAN for storage in the corresponding user data pools; and enabling a mobile device to download the data stored in both the shared data pool and other attendee's user data pools for storage, such that one attendee receives the digital image data submitted by the other attendees.
