“Our attendees loved using the EventPilot conference app last year and we are thrilled to offer the latest version with new features and show the power of native meeting apps,” said Chad Borenz, Digital Marketing Manager of Event Solutions, a UBM company. “As a growing tradeshow, it is important to us to offer the best of breed technology to our attendees that is easy to use and does not rely on Wi-Fi access.”

EventPilot is built natively for iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets and thereby overcomes the limitations of HTML5-based apps. With EventPilot, conference goers have instant access to the large amount of the latest event information ranging from sessions and PowerPoint slides with note taking to exhibitor brochures and the current Twitter feed. The intuitive and highly visual design as well as custom branding create an integrated event experience that extends beyond the venue itself.
