Compatible with all iOs and Android devices, this innovative app uses two separate functionalities to automate manual processes, allowing meeting planners to spend more time on strategic tasks.

 

The Calculator function allows users to input the number of event attendees into an algorithm that recommends quantities of food and beverage (including liquor, coffee and standard drinks), safety (fire extinguishers and exit space) and staffing. The calculations are based on industry best practices and established standards that CIC uses in its Manual, an excellent reference for day-to-day operations, which is available for download through the app. 

"Promoting professionalism is at the core of CIC’s mission. We are committed to fostering the growth and needs of our industry’s professionals through our actions. The Pocket Planner app allows us to do both of those things seamlessly, said Karen Kotowski, CAE, CMP, chief executive officer of the Convention Industry Council. "The app is another tool that allows planners flexibility in applying their knowledge, not a substitute for attaining it. Kudos to Social Tables for creating a useful platform that is accessible and at no cost, to everyone in the industry."
