The National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) has launched its 2012 Marketplace Conference mobile app, which provides tools for conference attendees to enhance their planning overall experience for the NACDS Marketplace Conference, to be held June 23-26 in Denver.

“NACDS utilizes cutting-edge innovations in technology to enhance efficiencies and experiences in its member programs and services,” said NACDS president and CEO Steven C. Anderson, IOM, CAE. “It’s through these innovations that NACDS members will continue to see the value and impact of NACDS conferences and meetings in their day-to-day business.”

Sponsored by the Emerson Group, the mobile app provides attendees with hands-on access to important information to assist in planning ahead as well as conducting business while onsite at the conference, including exhibit floor maps, exhibitors list, schedule of events, speaker information and photos. Users can also create a personalized schedule with the App listing the specific events and exhibitors they would like to visit.

Users will also receive alerts on the most up-do-date information regarding the conference. Attendees can also follow NACDS’ social media activities on Twitter and Facebook.

In addition to the mobile app, the NACDS mobile website – m.NACDS.org – is fully updated with information about all 2012 NACDS events.
