World Travel Market London announced that for the first time, visitors, exhibitors, buyers, and the media will have access to a bespoke app.

This app will help all attendees plan their event experience and make the most of their time at World Travel Market.

The app, which is now available in the App Store and Google Play for devices running iOS and Android, respectively has been designed with several familiar features and some exciting new additions too! The conference programme, for example, can be filtered by date, stage, and topic, with the ability to favourite and save ‘must-attend’ sessions. The app includes the biographies of some 250 speakers who will be taking to the four stages – Technology, Future, Insights and Sustainability – across the three-day event.

Similarly, exhibitors can be searched and filtered by product category and geographical region – to enable visitors to find the exhibitors which best match their needs. All exhibitors, buyers, and media, can access their WTM ConnectMe Schedule via the app, enabling them to organise a diary and ensure their time onsite is productive.

At such a large event, navigation is of paramount importance. One feature which will support this will be the interactive floorplan using wayfinding features. The floorplan will go live on the WTM London app a few days before the event opens on Monday 7th November.

Elsewhere, there will be live links to social media channels so users can talk about what they see and do at the show. There is also the “WTM Digital Gift Gag” where users can access complimentary gifts and offers from exhibiting companies.

Juliette Losardo, Exhibition Director, WTM London, said:
