Powered by Grip, the app uses AI-technology to offer product recommendations based on unique interests, enables searches for exhibitors to find out their stand number and location, whilst the in-built interactive floorplan map helps visitors to navigate their way around the show and the Sustainability and Made in Britain Product Trails. It can also bookmark and save exhibitors, products, and seminars from the theatre timetable to individual profiles. All registered visitors get instant access to the app, visit https://www.autumnfair.com/show-app-visitor.
