Imagine yourself attending an event back in 80’s and 90’s. Having your own pen with a notepad to note down important points discussed during the event. Along with it, you would carry a tote bag filled with exhibitors and sponsor brochures, business cards and other promotional items.

With the revolution in technology, laptops were carried instead of notepad. WIFI was not common in the early days and event managers had to manage facilitation of attendees to charge their laptops while attending the conference. The things were quite hassling and difficult to manage.

At present, everything has gone mobile and attending the event is no longer a hassle. From taking notes to clicking pictures and recording videos to networking, mobile devices continue to evolve. No matter, what type of conference or event you are going to attend, here are some of the apps you should consider for your next conference.

1. Evernote

Event attendees have to take notes in order to get the most out of each presentation. There are a number of note-taking apps available on the market. However, Evernote tops the list for most of the event attendees and marketers.
