CEO Day app now live

For the first time, the CEO Day App is available for all participants on iPhone and Android devices. The app provides users with a quick overview for: Event agenda, personal agenda, speakers, venue and all other attending particpants. With the easy to use networking tool users can get in contact with other participants on the spot. Furthermore the voting tool will add some interactivity to the event, especially for the Pitching Final.

The app, developed by Zühlke, was launched today and can now be downloaded from Google Play and the AppStore. It supports all recent iPhones and Android mobiles. Before a user can use the app he or she has to register with the app. This is done using the email address with which the user registered on ceoday.ch as well as a so‐called registration code which all participants of the CEO Day event have been sent. Without this registration code users cannot use the app. More information about the app on the website of CEO Day.
