The developers in this guide create mobile applications and mobile-optimized Web sites for events and conferences. If they’re new to you, you’re not alone. Most of their mobile meeting products have been around for less than a year and a half.

While any custom app developer could eventually come up with a convention tool, we’ve limited our directory to developers experienced in the meetings and conventions industry and that at their core provide users with an event agenda, a list of exhibitors (if applicable), and other features to navigate a meeting. (See feature list.) We have included only stand-alone services, leaving out mobile tools that can’t be unbundled from other products a company offers.
