Info Salons Group, the event technology, database and registration specialists, and also strategic partner for GIBTM, will provide visitors to GIBTM 2010 (29th – 31st March 2010, ADNEC, Abu Dhabi) with the latest technology – a new application called iEvent which gives delegates, visitors and exhibitors the ability to access event schedule details, exhibitor information and the exhibition floorplan before, during and after the event, from any Apple iPhone® or iPod touch®.
GIBTM has chosen to make Info Salons’ iEvent application available to attendees. Enabling them to communicate with the industry not only during the show but also throughout the year, it is also a perfect “green” solution, keeping all event information stored electronically.
“When the iPhone was launched, we realised there was great potential to create an application for it that could place event information at the fingertips of attendees,” says Jo-Anne Kelleway, CEO, Info Salons Group.
“Info Salons then built iEvent, an extraordinarily interactive event portal that allows visitors and exhibitors to maximize their time during an event and make the most of their return on investment. In addition to the green initiative and the navigational and planning benefits, the advantage of the GIBTM iPhone app is that it offers the opportunity to keep communicating with attendees 365 days a year.”
Tools on iEvent include:
My Schedule: allows attendees to flag their favourite sessions and exhibitors, and keep them all in a handy listing for reference.
Maps & Exhibitors: displays the stand number, contact details and description along with a full floorplan.
Events & Speakers: lists session and speaker details, including locations
Social media: integrates seamlessly with Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites to make sure that every event gets comprehensive viral marketing coverage through the social web.
Some of these iPhone application features will be available to all participants including Hosted Buyers, visitors and exhibitors at GIBTM, this application will be available to download to any Apple iPhone® or iPod touch®. Simply search ‘GIBTM’ in the Apple application store and download it for free today.
