The 9 Coolest Apps for Business Conferences
Whether you’re organizing your business trip or talking shop with industry insiders, these 9 apps are sure to come in handy at your next business conference.
Namerick
If you’re the kind of person who has trouble remembering names, large conferences can be a networking minefield. Luckily, Namerick can help improve your memory using repetition and mnemonics.
Evernote
Since a large portion of your time at the conference will be spent taking notes, Evernote is a lifesaver. With the slogan “remember everything,” Evernote acts as a handy way to jot down thoughts over the course of the day.
Netaround
Social media is a quintessential networking tool at business conferences. With the location-based app Netaround, you can easily communicate with conference-goers with just the click of a button. This app lets you know who else is in attendance, so you can take your conversation seamlessly from the screen to the real world.
FullContact
When you’re networking with a large group of people, it can be tedious to enter all of their contact information into your phone at once. FullContact Card Reader expedites the process, allowing you to scan information directly from a business card into your contacts.
Uber
As Woody Allen famously said, 80% of success is just showing up. Using transportation apps like Uber or competitor Lyft, it’s easy to show up on time and hassle-free. There’s no need to risk shaking your confidence with a hectic late arrival when easy and reliable transport is always right outside your doorstep.
Shoeboxed
At a busy conference, it can be difficult to keep track of your expenses. Not only does Shoeboxed keep track of receipts and mileage; it can also be used to store business cards, create expense reports, and more.
BusyConf
If you’re the one running the conference, it can be difficult to keep all the odds and ends in your head. Luckily, apps aren’t just for conference attendees -- there are apps for organizers too. BusyConf, for instance, provides user-friendly conference management tool
