Known as the A2Z mobile application, METALCON’s latest electronic feature is extremely user friendly and provides seamless interaction between mobile devices of attendees and exhibitors with the show’s Web site. This means attendees can access the latest floor plan and exhibitor info.
The A2Z app is sponsored by Firestone Building Products, an MCA member and long-time METALCON exhibitor. It will be launched the second week of August and will be accessible on the opening page of www.metalcon.com with complete directions for downloading and usage.
It offers an upbeat, improved user experience. Attendees can build and store a personal expo plan and itinerary on their iPhone, iPod touch®, iPad, Android, other smart phones, and even laptops and PCs. Their preferences, bookmarks and selections will then be accessible via any computer or mobile device before, during and after the show.
A2Z will also provide access to information about local Rosemont venues, dining and entertainment near the show site.
Exhibitors get the advantage of having online booth changes and additions update across multiple platforms in real time.
For all users, the pinch and zoom navigation is fast and makes it particularly easy for attendees to find information while perusing the exhibits.
