Sponsored Micro App

Micro apps are icons that appear on the main screens of the mobile application, such as, "Full Agenda", "Exhibitors", and "Participants". A sponsor micro app can appear as a company logo and open to a mobile friendly page of sponsors choice (ideal for promoting products, services, booth #, sponsored sessions, parties etc.).

Sponsored Badge

Badges are earned when a user "checks into" a particular location at the event ("check in" is similar to foursquare). This could be at an exhibitors booth or sponsored session. Checking into a location unlocks the badge, and then the user is told they earned a badge and shown the name, graphic and description of the badge.

Push Notifications

Push notifications are messages instantly sent to all the mobile app users. The push notification appears as pop-up message on mobile phones – it's similar to receiving a text message from a friend. It can be a very effective way to drive traffic to your booth, or remind everyone that a sponsored session or party is about to begin. Note that the display and behavior of the notification may vary from device to device based on user settings and the phone operating system.

Custom Coupons

Coupons are displayed on the Mobile App screen when a user "checks into" your booth or sponsored session ("check in" is similar to foursquare). Coupons can be used to drive traffic to your booth or sponsored session by telling attendees to show the coupon to receive a gift (example: t-shirt) or be entered to win a prize. Coupons show your company name, logo and description of the "offer."
