apps

The Massachusetts Convention Center Authority has developed two apps with Cambridge-based SwiftMobile. The apps are designed as a personal concierge for your mobile phone that combines networking and navigation to get you to the right people, places, and services. Within one simple application, you can:

  • Find your way around the MCCA’s two Boston facilities.
  • Find nearby restaurants, hotels, and retailers.
  • Get real-time travel information for airport departures, traffic updates, and public transit issues.
  • Update Twitter with the SWIFT Tweeter, a client for Twitter that auto-embeds the event hashtag for you and allows you to track, follow, and re-tweet event tweets.

Ready To Mobilize Your Next Event?

Event planners can now offer mobile phone apps for their events through the MCCA.

Our best-in-class venue apps, myHynes and myBCEC, can be customized with your session schedules, social networking, event details, and interactive trade show floor maps. Event planners can also sell in-app advertising, exhibitor pages and sponsorships. The apps features include GPS-enabled local maps and area merchants, travel alerts, and social networking. They are also compatible with iPhone, iPod Touch, Blackberry, and, soon, Android.

More than half of attendees use smartphones at events and that number is increasing rapidly. And as apps are quickly becoming the standard for world class events, demand for mobile advertising and sponsorship opportunities is exploding.

Mobile apps...

  • Greatly enhance navigating and networking at your event.
  • Reduce paper and printing costs—and your event’s carbon footprint!
  • Offer significant new revenue streams.
