The overall growth of mobile technology has been an astounding event to
witness. Just three decades ago people were using devices the size of
small dogs that only held a charge for a few hours of use. Now, every time
you purchase a new phone, you see a commercial the next day for an even
more innovative piece of equipment that has just been released. With Droid
based devices and iPhone usage in the millions, a new market of software
applications is now a booming industry, shifting from primarily
personal apps to industry customized professional programs. The meetings
and events industry has been inundated with innovative mobile
applications to improve the productivity of not only the operation of
events, but also the planners themselves.
