Innovation has always been a key focus of Fieldays, and this year the event has a brand new downloadable app with advanced capabilities meaning that when visitors enter the gates in June, they will do so with the latest technology at their fingertips.
Downloadable for free on Android, and iOS, the Fieldays App is available in five different languages (English, Chinese, French, German, and Spanish). The app uses iBeacon technology, making Fieldays one of, if not the first to apply this innovative event technology. Fieldays Marketing Manager Rebecca Wylie is thrilled with the app and the advance Fieldays has made to enhance its visitor experience.
"Visitors that have downloaded the Fieldays App will have their fingers on the pulse this year," she says.
"As well as being able to create their own schedule to visit their favourite suppliers or view their favourite events, they'll be able to receive push notifications via the iBeacons on site, pin to the map where their car is parked, find their friends and check the weather.
"There is also a news section so users can choose to receive the latest Fieldays news direct to their phone, and a social media function. With this, Fieldays visitors, exhibitors and media have access to the official Fieldays Instagram, Twitter and Facebook feeds, tap into the 'FieldaysNZ' hashtag and capture and share their own moments with the Fieldays camera. "It really is a fantastic piece of technology and we're proud to be able to roll out something so user-friendly and innovative out to our customers."
