Mobile Apps allow conference, convention and tradeshow organizers to save money, go green and engage their attendees like never before. In addition to saving money and helping the environment by replacing printed materials, mobile apps also have the advantage of real-time updating so that last minute changes don't result in last minute chaos. Making your app available for download prior to your event creates a buzz and can even increase registrations. Many organizers also see mobile apps as a way to avoid or reduce expensive Wi-Fi costs.
Mobile Apps allow exhibitors to get marketing collateral in the hands of attendees before and during the event, provide information and invitations for special presentations and social events, and benefit from the exhibit hall floor plan built into the app. Push marketing messages can help drive increased traffic to their exhibit as well.
It's all about convenience. Your attendees can review session information; create a personal schedule, network with other attendees and much more. By downloading your app prior to arriving, they can get organized and that reduces stress. With a mobile app, your attendees feel like they know what is going on... they are engaged in the process before, during and after the event.
Mobile Apps provide sponsors with exposure to your attendees that can be broad (throughout the app) or targeted (for example, tied to a specific session or speaker) placement. Attendees can also link outto the sponsor's web site and with a unique landing page, directly measure the traffic resulting from your event.
These are just some of the features and benefits of mobile apps. We'd be happy to sit down with you and discuss your event and determine the appropriate web app strategy given your particular needs and desires.
We represent several mobile app service providers, which enables us to choose the scale (capabilities and price) appropriate to your needs. We gather your content (photos, logos, bios, schedules, floor plans, etc.), organize it and then upload it to your mobile app. We also provide on-site concierge service for your conference, convention or tradeshow. Our mobile app content specialist will provide you with a single-point-of-contact for all real-time content changes and updates, on location for the duration of your show. Besides relieving you and your team of this burden, it will also increase satisfaction levels for your attendees, sponsors and exhibitors. Finally, we archive all of your content on to a master CD/DVD to make future implementations run that much smoother.
If you already have a mobile app or have committed to one, we can still assist you with your implementation. We offer our content management and concierge services on an A la carte basis, so that you only can utilize us only as needed.
