These days, no event can reach its potential without tapping into social media and mobile apps. The days of calling social media a fad are long gone, more than half the global population is under the age of 30 and 96% of them are on one social media channel or another, ignoring this space will be detrimental to your next event.

Attendees and possible attendees are on social media talking about your event and you have the opportunity to join the conversation and be a valuable contributor.

Impressive Numbers

With smart phones sales passing 1 billion this year, the mobile space cannot be ignored either. Did you know that more than 80% of meeting professionals have a smart phone, but only 9% of planners offer a mobile app?

With the average person looking at their phone 150 times a day, or once every six-and-a-half minutes of every waking hour, you have a huge opportunity as planners to capture valuable real estate for new registrants and attendees.
