Visitors to this year's EMO, in Hanover, Germany – 19-24 September – will, for the first time, be able to access the full exhibitor, product and program directory in a format suitable for mobile phones and similar devices.
For information on the go, head to www.emo2go.de.Highlights include bus tracking for easy movement between the halls, the 'Locate' and 'Near me' functions, and synchronisation of bookmarked items with the www.emo-hannover.de website. A function for sharing and connecting to LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube rounds off the new tool.
The website www.emo2go.de is available free of charge at the exhibition centre to all web-enabled devices over WLAN (connect to the SSID:Wififairgrounds, and deactivate automatic registration).
As of mid-August, you'll also be able to download an iPhone/iPad app - EMO2go (see QR code image), brought to you by the German Machine Tool Builders' Association (VDW).
This app contains the entire EMO database for offline use, so it is recommend that it is downloaded via WLAN before setting off for the show. If you are already onsite, an 'App station' is available at the Convention Centre where the app can be downloaded free of charge.
