The 2010 International Dairy Show, presented by the International Dairy Foods Association, is offering exhibitors a variety of tools to connect with and engage attendees. For example, by upgrading their listing to silver or gold, exhibiting companies will have expanded exposure on ChirpE, a mobile application from a2z, Inc. Attendees can use ChirpE for free on any major smartphone to search for products, exhibitors and view the interactive floor plan. It also offers integration with social media applications Twitter and LinkedIn. In addition, IDFA will be able to use ChirpE to disseminate information to attendees during the three day event.
