It’s difficult to know how to approach this one really, as an app the features look fine with clear screen pages and it’s all pretty thorough.

Like any industry event or networking opportunity the annual conference of ˈwhatever it might beˈ needs at least some basic research before you commit to attending.You’ll be bombarded with emails from conference organizers even if you work in an industry with the most tenuous of links to the principal subject but then of course you would be.Their job is to fill the hall or conference center and justify delegate charges and trade stand fees therefore their standard marketing approach is along the lines of; "The event you simply can’t afford to miss!"Heard it all before? I bet you have, well you ... Read more
This is all a bit of fun and probably serves the same purpose as a stress ball for people who are constantly dragged into pointless meetings at work.The business world is full of people who consider spending hours talking about something is more productive than actually doing anything about it. Well this app won’t really help you convince these annoying people to stop running everything up the flag pole or asking you to think outside the box but it might help you to laugh about it afterwards with your colleagues.It’s free of course and there is no registration requirement so your submissions are anonymous (we hope!) ...
