"We have seen consistent increases in use of the TISE mobile app since introducing it in 2013.  The industry demand is clearly there and the technology keeps getting more sophisticated and user-friendly," said Amie Gilmore, CEM, director of The International Surface Event.  "It's a functional tool for maximizing the show floor experience, from searching for exhibitor locations on the show floor, to mapping the quickest route to get from one point to another and helping to easily schedule time at the show, it's an additional service we can offer attendees to make their show experience even more productive."

In addition to the Booth Crawl Challenge, other mobile app features include a calendar, show hours, floor plan, easy access to the master education schedule including the schedule of show floor tours and demos taking place each day, events schedule and quick connection to social media accounts.
