ABC has a free mobile app available to all attendees and exhibitors designed to make life at the show a little bit easier. The Athletic Business Conference & Expo app is filled with information like schedules, seminar listings, speaker info, maps and exhibitor information. It will come in handy when youāre at the show.
If you downloaded the app for our show in previous years, please delete those and download the 2015 version. Each year we have a new standalone app.
Here's how to download the app to your Apple or Android device, plus a tip on how to make the most of it.
I have an iPhone and/or iPad
1. Open the App Store.
2. Search āAthletic Business.ā
3. Install
You should see āAthletic Business Co & Expo 15ā pop up, created by Guidebook Inc. Tap āGet,ā then āInstall.ā If youāre on an iPad, you may also see the Athletic Business iPad app listed. That has free access to every issue of our magazine. Feel free to download that as well!
4. My Guides
Upon completion of the download, the app will appear on your homescreen. It will be called "ABC Expo 15." Tap the app to open it. Youāll see a screen that says āMy Guides.ā Select the 2015 Athletic Business Conference & Expo and youāre all set.
5. One More Step for iPad
If youāre on an iPad the first screen will say, āNo guides found!ā Tap āGet your first guide.ā From there tap the ā2015 Athletic Business Conference & Expo,ā and youāre ready to go.

You are ready to start using the app!
Bonus Tip:
When prompted in the app to allow access to your camera and location select āyes.ā Access to your camera will allow you to take and share photos in the appās photo album section. Access to your location will enhance the capabilities of the appās maps feature at the show. We also recommend allowing push notifications. There will only be a few throughout the show with timely reminders about upcoming events like the trade show opening or the keynote beginning. Enjoy!
