ALEXANDRIA, VA – NACS has introduced another free mobile app that will improve attendees’ experiences at the NACS Show, which will take place October 5 to 8 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.

The NACS mobile app, available in native and Web-based forms, gives NACS Show attendees comprehensive information on the event, plus a platform to deliver late-breaking news and updates. It includes detailed event information, speaker biographies for general sessions and workshops, listings of the 1,000-plus exhibitors, an interactive expo map with routing to booths, a NACS TV video channel, and integration of social media and trending of the #nacsshow Twitter feed. 

NACS launched its first mobile app for NACStech, the premiere technology solutions event for the convenience and petroleum retailing industry that took place in May 2010. The successful launch of that app built momentum for the launch of a new app in support of this year’s NACS Show in Atlanta.   

Exhibitors can use the mobile app to create dynamic advertising capabilities, video messages and banner ads. In addition, exhibitors can upload sales materials, handouts and PDFs virtually for attendee access within the app.

“The new NACS mobile app enhances the world-class connections that the NACS Show already delivers,” said NACS Vice President of Marketing Derek Gaskins. “It creates more robust experiences with attendees not only at the NACS Show but throughout the year.”

Most functionality of the native mobile app will be accessibility, even when there is no Wi-Fi, 3G or Web connection. It is compatible with the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Android and BlackBerry devices. It can be downloaded for free by accessing the iTunes library or directly by pointing a mobile browser to nacsonline.com/mobileapp.
