GIE+EXPO launched its Go EXPO smartphone app for the 2016 trade show, held Oct. 19-21 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Ky. The free app provides access to event schedules, the floor plan, exhibitor information, show announcements and social media posts.
The mobile app, sponsored by Gravely, is available now in the iTunes and Google Play stores.
Attendees and mobile app users can use Go EXPO’s personalized planner to build a custom itinerary of preferred sessions and take notes using the my notes feature. When not attending educational sessions, mobile app users can also use the planner to select exhibitors that they want to meet on the trade show floor, request appointments and use the interactive floor plan to navigate to their booth locations.
Go EXPO app also lets users do the following:
- Search for exhibitors, view their product information, tag favorites, request meetings, add notes and map booth locations;
- Locate favorite booths on the interactive floor plan and download a personalized walking map;
- Search the Conference Schedule, rate sessions, view handouts, add notes and email them;
- Build a personalized planner;
- Read, follow and comment on tweets and Facebook posts from fellow attendees and exhibiting companies; and
- Tune into updates, notifications and blogs from show management.
