The app allows participants to create profiles of their business - making it easy for fellow attendees to book appointments with them before proceedings start. Buyers can glean information about each exhibitor, i.e who they are and what they do.

Users will also be able to follow all Twitter posts featuring the Meetings Africa hashtags and learn the views of fellow attendees at the show through the newsfeed feature. Through QR codes, the app will also make it possible for attendees to navigate the exhibition floor.

Highlights of the upcoming Meetings Africa trade show include:

24 February – BONDay (Business Opportunity Networking Day)

The purpose of BONDay is to provide educational sessions for attendees to learn more about the new industry trends which have the potential to contribute to the growth of their businesses. The BONDay programme will be released soon, and speakers for BONDay, will include captains of the industry.
