Guidebook
Creating a mobile guide has
never been
this easy.
"We received more comments about our guide than almost anything else we did. Everywhere I looked, I saw people checking their schedules and starring their favorite talks, all from their phones. We will definitely be using it for our next event."
—Van Lindberg, Chair, PyCon
"In the rush to design and produce everything for our event we didn't have time to build a mobile event guide. About three days before our event we contacted Guidebook and were able to very quickly and easily build a detailed guide for our attendees."
—Ben Barry, Designer, Facebook
"Using Guidebook for CodeConf was a great idea and we'll certainly do it again in the future. I was very pleased with the quick response time from the Guidebook team and the near-ubiquitous adoption of the app. It's a great way to communicate with attendees"
—Chris Wanstrath, CEO, GitHub

Instant Feedback
Ask your attendees what they liked most about the event, or how they would improve it for next year. You can include multiple-choice, sliding scale, and fill-in-the-blank questions. The answers are automatically available to the event organizer through their web portal.
Schedules with Personalized Alerts
Your entire schedule is right on your attendees’ phones. They can pick sessions and add them to their personalized agendas with reminders. If they want more details, they simply click on a session. Images can accompany any item.
Interactive Maps
Add vividly detailed, high-resolution maps of your venue. Attendees can scroll and zoom in order to navigate their way around the show floor. You can also add maps showing how to get to the venue from the airport.
New: Do you have a large or complicated venue that people may need help navigating? Our new mapping functionality allows users to click on a session or an exhibitor and be directed to the appropriate location. (Available events starting in Spring 2012)
Social Media Integration
All of the social buzz surrounding the event on Twitter and Facebook is collected in one place for easy browsing and participation. Post Tweets and Facebook updates right from the app! You can also direct users to an easy-to-navigate version of your YouTube channel, so that they can keep up with any videos that you post.

Our Philosophy
At Guidebook, we don’t think it should be expensive or difficult for organizations to connect with their audiences on their mobile devices. Guidebook makes it simple and inexpensive to go mobile, while providing a beautiful and engaging user experience.
Why Mobile?
Smartphones have only been a widely used consumer product for less than 10 years. In that short time, their usage has grown exponentially. They account for more than one-quarter of the U.S. mobile phone market. In certain populations, like trade show and conference attendees, they are much more widely used.
Platforms
Guidebook is user-friendly on iPhones, Android phones, Blackberries, and any other devices that your audience might use. We offer native apps for iPhone and Android and a mobile web app all for one low price.
