"The feature that event planners appreciate most about Guidebook is its simplicity. Guidebook has a really easy to use content management system, and a great customer support team that actually knows the events industry. This means that event planners can give us their information and forget about it. This is a rare quality in the mobile apps space (especially rare given Guidebook's low price).

Attendees Will Like:

"As far as attendees are concerned, most event apps offer the same features (schedules, exhibitor listings, social media, etc.). What really distinguishes Guidebook is the user interface. Guidebook has a clean, intuitive design, and almost everything works lightening fast without need for Wifi. Other apps are dependent on a constant internet connection, as well as being confusing and prone to crashes."

"One of the most impressive features of Bloodhound is that it allows exhibitors and attendees to connect with each other in a simple way. For instance, when an attendee wants more information from an exhibitor, they can simply “Request Follow-Up” in the Bloodhound app. Bloodhound will then pass the attendee’s contact info along to the exhibitor as inbound lead generation. New updates to the app also allow exhibitors to scan an attendee’s badge using their mobile device so that information can be collected for follow-up at a later time."

"Bloodhound allows attendees and exhibitors to leave their business cards at home when they are attending important conferences. The app integrates with both LinkedIn and Facebook so that users are able to see all of the different people they know at the event, and so that they can exchange information with new people when they want to (and don't have to worry about sorting through a pile of new business cards when they return home from the event)."
