Events often offer a Mobile App for access to event tools on a user's mobile device.

While every event has a variety of content and custom design within each page, we hope to guide you through what you can expect on the Mobile App page or visit our FAQ's*.

  1. You will likely be directed to a Web page that contains information about the event's Mobile App.

    • Once here there are several options for downloading the app and learning about the features of the app.
