Take advantage of the IBIE app

As a first step, Moore recommended downloading the show app.

“Take some time the week or so before [the show] to look at it and get comfortable with it,” she said. “That way, you know what you’re going into before you get there.”

Through the app, people can set up interviews ahead of the show, which helps structure their days.

“That could be meetings not just with exhibitors but also with attendees who are already registered,” Zarate said.

The app also contains the full IBIEducate lineup so guests can determine their must-see sessions in advance.

“It needs planning because it’s a huge program, and it’s impossible for one person to take it all,” Zarate said. “You have to share that with your teams and try and cover as much as possible or what your industry needs.”
