There is an emergence in the use of mobile devices in order to increase interaction with end-users. Mobile apps are being developed that can provide real-time information about virtual events. Such apps will enable event participation for visitors even if they do not have a computer in their vicinity. In addition, these mobile apps will provide an instant chat option to link exhibitors directly to visitors. Furthermore, by using these apps, organizers will have access to the real-time behavior of the visitors at the event. Using this feature, organizers will be able to determine the likes and dislikes of visitors through their mobile usage.''

According to the report, one of the major drivers is the demand for high attendance in events.
