Networking Opportunities Abound at ITEX National Expo & Conference
NEWTON, MA, Apr 06, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
As the industry makes plans to gather in less than two weeks at the
ITEX National Expo & Conference in Las Vegas, attendees will find new
technology to make networking even easier. ITEX, in conjunction with
mTribeApps, has introduced the first ever ITEX Mobile App, an
interactive, free and downloadable smartphone application designed to
enhance the tradeshow experience and provide valuable ITEX
information on the go. Also, attendees will have the opportunity to
interact with fellow attendees and exhibitors using ITEX Connection,
a tool developed by ARI, the event's registration vendor.
Available for download in the Apple iTunes store and Android market
by searching "ITEX Show," the ITEX Mobile App will provide attendees,
exhibitors and prospects all the information they'll need about ITEX
at their fingertips. Create a personal schedule of the conference
sessions you're attending, mark the exhibitors you'd like to meet
with the interactive map, plan your time in Vegas with local
attractions and restaurants, and more. ITEX anticipates more than 50%
of exhibitors and attendees to download the app and utilize its
powerful features:
-- Learn: Personalize your conference schedule. Chart your visit to the
Expo Floor. Take notes. Users can add sessions to their agendas and
map their Expo route directly from their smartphone, even before
arriving to the show
-- Network: Connect with speakers, exhibitors and attendees. Participate
in the social using the #itex12 hash tag; connect with colleagues on
LinkedIn as you meet them at the show, upload videos to YouTube and
more!
-- Succeed: Collect connections, products and presentations on your
device. Follow up. Share with your teammates.
"Mobile smartphones and the next generation native apps on them are
becoming the primary 24/7 user interface for all personal and
professional communication and interaction between people, groups,
services, products and brands," says Wendy Loew, Group Director, ITEX
Expo & Conference. "We are happy to be working with mTribeApps to
provide our attendees and exhibitors with a quality app as a valuable
resource to maximize their time spent at ITEX."
Additionally, with ARI, the event's registration vendor, ITEX has
launched ITEX Connection to allow attendees and exhibitors to make
the most of their time at the event by setting up appointments and
meetings ahead of time. Once registered for the event, attendees and
exhibitors will receive log-in information for the ITEX Connection.
Once logged in, attendees and exhibitors can use this online tool to
begin to network and schedule meetings before arriving on site. This
quick and easy-to-use tool allows participants to search for and
communicate with other registered attendees and exhibitors, find new
business contacts, or re-connect with industry colleagues by using
the flexible search engine.
"We are pleased to offer our dealers, resellers, distributors, VARs,
vendors and OEMs an easy way to plan out their valuable time at ITEX.
These industry professionals take time away from the office to
network, see new products and meet with colleagues. We encourage
those who have registered to download the ITEX Connection to better
achieve their goals," said Sand Sinclair, ITEX Conference Director.
"We have also planned several exciting special events where people
can meet and share a casual environment to conduct business. While at
the show, these networking events are the perfect opportunity to plan
to meet in person."
