The Event Info Site App is a way to create a basic information site that can add live data for Agendas, Accommodation, Speakers, Exhibitors, Sponsors and more.  You can also add custom content pages to your site, and create a URL/QR code to include in mailouts or advertising.


Note: The Event Info Site App will create a public site for anyone to see - no sign-in is required, so only include information you want to share with the public.
