NEW! NOW’23 MOBILE APP

We are thrilled to share that at NOW’23 NADCO will launch a conference app so attendees can quickly and easily access all event details including exhibitor and sponsor listings, the agenda and more via a phone, tablet or laptop.

The new NOW’23 App will offer more exposure for exhibitors and sponsors and replace the paper program we have used in the past.

See below for what to expect and how to take advantage of this new promotion opportunity.

LOGO BANNERS:

Be seen throughout the conference whether an attendee is looking at the agenda, playing the exhibitor game or reading up on an exhibitor. Your logo banner will be at the bottom of the app window. The banner will include your logo and your booth number and will be part of a timed 10 banner rotation. Each banner is shown for 10-15 seconds which means your logo will be featured on the app every other minute beginning on Monday Nov 13 through Friday, Nov 17.
  • Cost: $2000
  • Requirements: Provide a .png logo file and preferred brand color for the banner background (RGB #, CMYK #, or Hex #)
  • Limited banner ad opportunities. Reserve your ad now.


PUSH NOTIFICATIONS:

Want to announce a raffle drawing at your booth, a demo or a free giveaway to all our attendees? A push notification is a perfect way to reach the NOW’23 audience with a specific call to action. Push notifications are a text alert that will go out on the app at a specific time.
  • Cost: $1500
  • Requirements: Provide your text notification copy. Character limits – coming soon.
  • Availability: Only 12 Push Notifications are available. You will be able to select a time and day from our Push Notification schedule.
  • Design Tips:

    • A great example: “Free Giveaway from Microsoft! Visit Booth #106 in the exhibitor’s hall for the chance to win a free Surface Pro!”
