We develop mobile software for conferences, events, and member associations. We had a great round of events in March and are looking for more conferences that would like to shake off those dusty old printed guidebooks and want to have mobile conference sites with push notifications, interactive maps, fun games and engagement boosters, and sponsorship/branding opportunities. Save money on printing; boost the value to exhibitors and speakers; give your attendees more ways to connect to your conference and something to do related on their smartphones instead of checking email through your sessions.
