INTRODUCING THE EVENT GUIDE APPLICATION

We’ve all been to trade shows and are familiar with the cumbersome-but-necessary printed event guides that show us the conference schedule, presenters, a map of the exhibits, conference sponsors, and so on.

I use a Pocket PC device daily for various purposes including calendar, contacts, notes, and Flash development, among other uses. During these conferences, I find myself using both the event guide and my Pocket PC, which is not easy to do as I’m walking around. So I thought, why not take the same information (or at least the information that I find useful), create a great user experience, and put it on a Pocket PC that I can easily access? Not only can I include information about the event, but I can also include hotel information, local map, points of interest, and anything else that might be specific to the event.
