      From the M&S side I love the app and its come so far in recent years. No matter if you are on the M&S side or park side be sure down download and spend some time in the app before the show. There are people and companies in the building next week at IAAPA Expo who you want to meet with but don’t even know they are attending - the app is your answer!

      We’ve really enjoyed working with the Connect+ platform over the past few shows. It’s been a game-changer in helping us connect with attendees more efficiently and keep track of meaningful conversations throughout the event. The interface is intuitive, and the personal training session helped our team feel confident using all the features right away.

      Connect+ is a great tool that I can use to prepare and participate in IAAPA events. Being able to see the attendee list allows me to strategize what conversations and meetings I want to have ahead of time, and I can connect with those people directly in the app. It also keeps me organized during an event. Each day will have a full schedule, and if I turn on push notifications, it will let me know what event is coming up and where it is so I can stay on track.

      IAAPA Expo is always a whirlwind, but IAAPA Connect+ kept me organized and focused. Before the show, I was able to map out my entire experience, from scheduling meetings to bookmarking EDUSessions and booths I wanted to visit on the show floor. During the event, I just pulled out my phone and the app guided me through my schedule, ensuring I didn't miss a thing. It was like having a personal assistant dedicated to making my expo experience a success. I felt more organized, more connected, and more confident than ever before. I can't imagine attending another IAAPA Expo without it!
