The Americas Incentive, Business Travel and Meetings Exhibition, AIBTM (www.aibtm.com) has partnered with GenieConnect (www.genie-connect.com) to deliver a multi-event App which is available for download (or update) at this year’s AIBTM taking place in Chicago’s McCormick Place June 11-13.
Sponsored by Tourism Vancouver, this year’s new app will add to the show’s promise of crowdsourcing by allowing attendees to provide immediate feedback on anything from the keynote addresses to education sessions.
“The use of the IBTM Global Events app goes hand in hand with this year’s theme which calls for maximum interactivity,” said Jaime Rosov Marketing Director for AIBTM. “Our goal is to elicit as much attendee feedback as possible to ‘Define The Future of Meetings… Together’, and the mobile app will serve as a platform to help make that happen.”
In addition to its crowdsourcing functionality, the app contains nine sections specifically designed to keep attendees organised and up to date:
• Programme: Houses the schedule of events and specialty features for each day of the show
• Speakers: Offers an alphabetised list of all speakers scheduled to present during education sessions
• Exhibitors: Gives an alphabetised list of all exhibitors and their booth numbers, searchable by exhibitor type or product interest.
• My Event: Allows attendees to personalise their AIBTM experience by creating their own agenda and adding favorites.
• Maps: Provides a state of the art interactive map of the show floor
• News & Social: Includes access to AIBTM’s social media channels, including Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and i-Meet along with Tourism Vancouver’s twitter feed
• My Guide: Offers general information about AIBTM, McCormick Place, Tourism Vancouver and different events taking place throughout the course of the show
• Messages: Allows attendees to receive important alerts and messages regarding show floor activities and networking opportunities
• Local Guide: Provides an alphabetised list of local vendors, including restaurants and bars for those interested in exploring Chicago
