LAS VEGAS, NV (BRAIN) — Interbike is offering two mobile downloads with tools to help showgoers stay organized at next week's show.
The show's interactive app is available for iOS, Andriod and Blackberry devices. The app includes maps, exhibitor lists and calendars of seminars and other events, plus some social features with Twitter, Facebook and a Interbike "friends" feature.
It even has a "Locate Me" function for the terminally lost. Type in the name of a nearby booth and the app shows you where you are on the floor map. The app includes maps of the indoor show at the Sands Convention Center and the Outdoor Demo.
The interactivity is extensive. For example, from an exhibitor listing users can connect to the exhibitor's location on the map, plan a visit on a calendar, bookmark the exhibit on a map or make notes about the exhibitor. Exhibitors also can make downloads available from their listing in the app.
From the event calendar, users can schedule events to their personal calendars, rate the sessions and more.
Interbike's other available download is an electronic version of its official show guide. The download is available through Apple's Newstand app and contains the complete show guide, with maps, articles and exhibitor listings.
