"In the past… people get sick, the room can't quite accommodate the demand. And now your paper guide is instantly out of date. Some [competitors] didn't quite look as polished… we wanted registration to feed right into the app directly. Now everything's just mobile, and everyone gets the most up-to-date version of the day's schedule and information."

"People might not want to carry an extra thing… more trash and litter… that was a big reason we were thinking more digitally. We can do pretty much anything we want in this app. I like how customizable it is and it's very easy to navigate… dragging and dropping things…"

Paige RooneyWashington State Fair

"We had a $10,000 sponsor last year just for putting their logo on the Guidebook app. The only thing constant about our company is change... if something's printed and there's a change, you can't do it. We eradicated [printing] literally in one fell swoop. I love the price, we love the value, it's easy to work the app… I don't have a reason to go look elsewhere."
