Wunderlist App

It’s no longer optional – busy meeting professionals are relying on their iPhone in order to conduct business and plan successful events. There are thousands of useful apps – but here are five of the most recommended and useful apps for meeting planners.

1.Simple Soirée

Simply put, there are no simple events, but this nifty app can make your role just a little easier by planning the event right on your iPhone. It can store everything from guest lists to a RSVP summary, the décor, menu and entertainment ideas for each event you plan. You can even create an invitation that sends html e-mails to all your guests or export your lists to view or print from your computer at home!

2.Cisco WebEx Meeting Center

WebEx Meeting Center put the ‘meet’ in meetings, even if they are not always in the same country! Planning an event for a client in Boston or Beijing? With this app you can attend, schedule or start a meeting with clients from anywhere, attend meetings with integrated audio, as well view documents, applications and screen-share with live annotations.

3.Bump

For a free and useful app why not ‘bump’ into your next contact? Meeting planners are constantly bumping into new people. Instead of taking 10 minutes to write down your new friend’s phone number, e-mail address and another hundred ways to contact them, try bumping your phones together instead. If they have the Bump app, you can literally knock your iPhone against another to retain that person’s information.

4.Wunderlist

This free and elegant task management app simplifies the organization of a meeting planner. It also keeps track with the important tasks with reminders and notifications. The most unique feature of Wunderlist is that you can share and consolidate your own tasks with your colleagues by email.

5.Conventionist

By their nature, conventions and expos are chaotic, busy, crowded, confusing places, where inadequate planning and poor guidance can be deadly. However, this guide includes schedules, maps, exhibitor lists to ensure there is a method to the madness. Lastly, what’s a convention without the hectic meetings? This app has personalized scheduling alerts, and allows you to opt into attending certain events, while maintaining a separate, personalized schedule.
