Wondering
how you can begin the process of incorporating mobile
event app for your next event? Active Networks Mobile Playbook guide is a great resource to get you
started on the right path.
I’m
guilty, I can’t live without my cellphone!! I have driving all the way back
home for a forgotten cell phone. You can have everything else just leave my
cellphone and all will be well with the universe. As a planner my primary focus
is to help my clients to create and valuable and lasting experience and my
mobile is critical in helping with that.
It made
me aware of how much we have come to rely on mobile technology. It’s convenient
and you can have everything that you need in the palm of your hand. Just a few days ago; I went to a venue’s open
house and I did not have a clue on how to get there, I just pulled up my
calendar on my phone, pulled up the address and plugged it into navigation and
I was on my way. The open house was a success and it fit the needs of my client
well; so from my cell phone I was able to send all the information to my client
while traveling to another meeting and approving invoices.
With so
many people relying on mobile technology and the increased offerings that are available,
it is not a surprise that an increasing number of meeting planners are
developing mobile applications for their events.
