“Increasing the quality of the face-to-face interaction experience between attendees, exhibitors, and the show organizer has always been a critical aspect of any event, whether a consumer event or a trade show”, says Mark Simmering, Managing Director of InterMarket Global™. “Our proximity marketing technology, provided by The Mobile Xperience, allows organizers to offer rich, real-time messaging (at no cost to recipients) to practically every attendee having a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone.
