“As the leading industry event for caterers, we want to offer the latest mobile technology and enhance the tradeshow experience for our attendees.” said Chad Borenz, Digital Marketing Manager of Catersource, a UBM company. “The ability to access up to date information offline and easily search through the thousands of exhibitors in just seconds allows our attendees to spend their time actively engaged in all the event activities rather than digging through the paper guides or hunting for wifi.”

EventPilot conference apps bring offline convenience to attendees who can quickly find sessions, speakers or exhibitors of interest, manage their schedule, take notes, and socially engage with other participants. Unlike web-based apps, EventPilot is native to the device, fast for instant access, and not impacted by HTML5 caching and feature limitations.
