Industry events turn to apps to aid show organisation

By Andrew MCDOUGALL , 13-Nov-2012

The cosmetics industry was traditionally slow on the uptake of mobile applications for smartphones; but what has become an area of growth for manufacturers in recent years has also been utilized by a number of industry event organizers, who have developed show-specific apps.

Cosmetics Design takes a look at some of these apps in this gallery; which may provoke other events to get on board, and help industry professionals plan their upcoming events from their mobile device.

Speaker lists, floor plans, conference programs, and customizable diaries are all features of the apps, so feel free to discover each one further.
