Modern Events are Mobile-Friendly 

Providing an event mobile app for trade shows, conferences, or other industry events is more than just a trend; it's a strategic move for event managers as audience demographics continue to develop. An event mobile app is a powerful tool that enhances the overall experience of attendees, providing them with all the necessary information they need in one place. This not only makes it easier for them to navigate the event and stay engaged but also enables them to keep track of their schedule, access maps, directions, and exhibitor information, and receive real-time updates and alerts. Moreover, event mobile apps, such as those created by Map Your Show, provide valuable data and insights to event managers, empowering them to improve future events and enhance attendee engagement at the show or on the go. 

Before we dive into the exciting new features, let's take a moment to understand what makes Event Mobile Apps, developed by Map Your Show, stand out. These apps are your ultimate companion for events, designed to elevate event experiences and help users get the most out of your show. From finding exhibitors to scheduling meetings, accessing maps, directions, presentations, and more, it's all conveniently available in one user-friendly, modernized mobile platform. Let’s check out the new updates. 

What’s New for Event Mobile Apps from Map Your Show? 

Launch & Settings    

The new mobile application has a fresh design that has been updated with options for the new Home Page layout. With these new options, you can choose between three different display modes, such as image and text, icon and text, or image-only display on the landing page. This will allow you to customize your experience and choose the display mode that best suits your needs. 

Moreover, show management teams now have the ability to upload and link files directly from the mobile app using the redesigned admin tool. This feature will not only make the process of uploading and linking files more convenient but also save time and effort. 

If you are planning to advertise through the mobile app, you will be elated to know that you can now make on demand changes to the sponsor graphic on the branded splash screen without having to resubmit the app! This will allow you to make any necessary changes on the go and ensure that your sponsor graphic is always up-to-date. 

Mapping  

The updated mapping technology has been specifically designed to improve attendees' experience while viewing the floor plan. The technology is equipped with advanced features that offer enhanced detail and accuracy, helping attendees navigate the event with confidence.  

In addition to this, the app also comes with an internal navigation capability that allows attendees and exhibitors to search for rooms, as well as walking directions from an exhibitor booth, meeting or session room, or anywhere on the trade show floor plan. This feature is extremely useful for attendees who are visiting the event for the first time and are not familiar with the venue's layout. It saves time and helps avoid getting lost, allowing them to make the most of their experience at the event.  

Search and Filter Options  

The latest update to the MYS Mobile App's search functionality has introduced some exciting new elements. With the new search and filter options, you can now refine your search by selecting specific criteria such as show specials, countries, or states. This will allow you to find exactly what you're looking for with more precision and ease. Moreover, exhibitors who are tagged to sessions now have links that connect the session and their detail pages. This means that you can easily navigate between sessions and exhibitors and access all the information you need in one place. 

To make it even more convenient for attendees, the search page now has a quick list of session sponsors. This list gives you easy access to the sponsors of the sessions you are interested in.  

Exhibitor and Session Pages   

MYS’s new mobile app also features an updated design for exhibitor and session pages, allowing attendees to save session handouts, onsite photos, and exhibitor collateral directly to their devices. New options have also been introduced for session surveying that makes collecting feedback a breeze. These options include customizable grading and numeric scales, which allow the survey creator to tailor the grading system to their specific requirements. They can now assign scores to each response option, making it easier to analyze the results of the survey. In addition to this, the limit on textbox questions has been expanded, providing more room for open-ended feedback. These new options provide greater flexibility and precision in survey design, making it easier to collect relevant data and insights. 

My Show Planner   

The latest version of the my show planner features an updated design that is more intuitive and user-friendly. Scheduled items are now categorized into three distinct sections: upcoming, past, and on-demand. This new design makes it easier for attendees to navigate the planner and quickly find the information they need. The planner works seamlessly with the mobile app, allowing users to access their schedules and other important information from their mobile devices. Overall, these improvements make the planner more efficient and effective, ensuring that attendees can make the most out of their experience.
