Emerald City Comicon on Guidebook
Seattle's premiere comic show goes mobile.
"Guidebook was a huge hit at the Emerald City Comicon. It was a must-have app for attendees and was very easy to use and set up from an organizer's point of view. Our attendees raved about using it and I'll definitely be using it for future conventions -- it was fantastic!"
-Jim Demonakos, Convention Director

Take your event mobile.
Your attendees are doing more on their mobile devices. Guidebook allows you to connect with them by creating a customized event guide. A mobile guide is a great way to:
- Get the most up-to-date session schedules to your attendees
- Give guests an easy way to search for the exhibitors, and speakers they want to visit
- Allow people to engage with the event via social media like Twitter and Facebook
- Provide a detailed list of what to do and where to eat around the local area
- Provide your sponsors an extra opportunity to get their name out there. Revenue from sponsorship sales can often cover the entire price of the app
- Save paper and save money on printing costs

Interactive Maps
Never get lost again.
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.

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.
