Guidebook
Take the Guidebook Feature Tour
Schedules with tracks, alerts, and session details
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.
Available for all platforms.
Interactive Indoor 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)
Available for all platforms.
Outdoor Maps Powered by Google
Does your location consist of multiple buildings? Using a hybrid of our own technologies and Google Maps, we can make it easy for your attendees to find their way around. Simply click on a point of interest (an exhibitor, a presenter, a dining option, etc.) and a pin will be dropped on the map telling them where they need to go. This feature also takes advantage of the GPS capabilities of the user's device, pinpointing where they currently are on the map.
Available for iOS and Android.
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.
New: Guides can have multiple feedback modules to allow for questions on different topics.
Available for all platforms.
Social
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.
Available for iOS & Android.
Presenters
Include lists of presenters, exhibitors, sponsors, or anyone else at your event along with detailed descriptions. You can add pictures of speakers, booth locations, and more!
New: Descriptions can use rich formatting like bold, italics, and bullet points. They can also include links to outside websites or links for one-click dialing or emailing.
Available for all platforms.
Interactive Sponsorships
Allow your sponsors another way to get in front of your attendees by letting them sponsor an unobtrusive banner at the bottom of the screen. With hundreds or thousands of people using the app throughout the event, this is a valuable opportunity. And all of the money it generates goes directly to you!
Available for all platforms.
Custom Sections
Include lists of anything your attendees need in the guide. You can have a product section, a local nightlife section, a dining options section, and any other information that your attendees could use. Add pictures, contact information, and locations to make it especially useful.
Available for all platforms.
To-do Lists
An interactive to-do list allows your attendees to jot down all of the things they don’t want to miss and check them off upon completion. With one touch, they can add an exhibitor, speaker, or sponsor to their list.
Available for iOS & Android.
Shared Photo Albums
A professional photographer can't be everywhere at the same time. With Guidebook, attendees can take photos and instantly upload them to your mobile guide. This creates a collective photo album that people can browse through to see the event from different perspectives.
Available for iOS & Android.
Instant Updates
Anytime the event organizer makes a change to the guide, it will be instantly available to everyone using the guide. Optionally add a message to inform users of the change when they next open up the guide.
Available for all platforms.
Global Search
The entire guide is searchable! Want to find something or someone? Simply start typing in their name and it will take you right there. A list of results will come up. Click the result to go to the relevant speaker, sponsor, or scheduled session.
Available for iOS & Android.
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.
