IBIE TECH must-have Mobile IBIE's mobile app is designed to keep users up-to-date and on track. by Nico Roesler, Baking & Snack W With the size and scale of IBIE, it's almost essential to have a personal assistant in your pocket. IBIE veterans know the amount of walking it requires to see everything the show has to offer. While sore feet and miles of walking can't be avoided completely, a little pre-planning with the help of IBIE's mobile app might save a few steps. "Going mobile" isn't a new concept to IBIE attendees who have canvassed all 700,000 sq ft of the Las Vegas Convention Center. According to a Cypress Research Associates survey, 76% of IBIE 2013 attendees found the mobile app to be very useful. People are expected to take further advantage of the service in 2016 as the official app is anticipating 9,500 users this year with a total estimated number of views to reach 425,000. Sponsored by AB Mauri North America (Booth No. 9919), the IBIE 2016 mobile app is available for iPhone and Android devices as well as via the Web for all other mobile devices. The "My Event" feature can serve as your personal assistant, helping organize your IBIE experience into "My Inbox," "My Agenda," "Favorite Exhibitors" and "Favorite Speakers." Twelve other options put everything show-related at your fingertips. Need instant information about an exhibitor? Click on "Exhibitors" to access a searchable list of every company on the show floor, complete with booth numbers and contact details. Search by alphabetical order, language or product category. Want to save an exhibitor listing? Tap the star located at the bottom of each listing, and it will be saved in the "My Event" section under "Favorite Exhibitors." This option is also available for program speakers. An interactive floor plan with GPS navigation, located under "Mapping," will highlight the shortest route from Point A to Point B, making your trip around the show floor a little more efficient. Create a personalized show agenda using the "Schedule" feature. Tapping this icon reveals a comprehensive listing of seminars, workshops and demonstrations that can be filtered by time, date, track and type (demo or seminar). Tap the star, and the information automatically appears by date under "My Agenda," helping you keep track of where you need to be and when. "Show Features" and "Info" highlight need-toknow information, including new show floor attractions, logistical details such as shuttle routes, and IBIE contact information. If you're looking for local entertainment, dining, shopping or golf options, checkout "Local Places," which offers suggestions for an array of restaurants, golf courses, shows and shopping stops.
