Campus event app with guidebook

The Guidebook app allowed attendees to create personal itineraries for the three-day event, as well as view important conference information and interact with organizations’ social media outlets. Everyone at the conference couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved having everything they needed to know right in the palms of their hands!

Many of the attendees stopped by the Guidebook booth to preview the campus event app on iPads and tablets, enter to win prizes, or play Bananagrams with Guidebook representative (and Bananagrams world champion), Katie Williams.
