Mobile apps not only bring experiences within the attendee’s palm in real time but can help simplify processes, improve productivity and enhance capabilities.

Event Farm
Event Farm offers a comprehensive solution for planning and managing meetings by assimilating wearable technology and event planning software. It brings online and offline worlds together by harnessing Near-Field Communication technology (NFC).
At Event Farm, this technology is used in wristbands to enable check-ins for attendees or display personal schedules on remote tablets. The plan is to collate data through wearables that track the movements of attendees at an event. Additionally, the dashboard has graphic reports that display the number of attendees that have checked-in.
Boomset
Boomset with its event management software helps to improve efficiency on-site at an event. The app helps attendees customize and automate their check-in experience on site by simply scanning their QR codes at the check-in counter. When attendees register for an event, their data is imported into Boomset. This helps the events team to access raw attendee data, target prospects, and more. The software allows attendees to keep a check on the available seats in real-time so that strategic selections on meetings can be made on the grounds of seating availability.
ITN
At present, ITN offers online registration, access control, tracking, analytics, etc. The badge printing and scanning application is one of the most comprehensive solutions in the market and pulls data from badges to enable quicker check-ins and other functionality.
