Norwalk, CT – January 6, 2014

ICR, a leading strategic communications firm, today announced the launch of its new and improved ICR XChange mobile application, designed to enhance the experience of attendees at the 16th Annual ICR XChange conference taking place January 13–15 at the JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida. This is the third year XChange attendees will have access to key conference resources and features via their mobile devices.

Enhancements to this year’s app include a live interactive map to navigate the conference space, with a self-location based route finding facility and full offline capability. The app also offers improved agenda and scheduling facilities, such as the app’s “My Agenda” feature, which enables attendees to create a personalized schedule with selected sessions and one-on-one meetings.
App users will receive push notifications before and during the conference about events and changes to the schedule. In addition, improved social media capabilities allow users to see the live Twitter feeds and participate in the social conversation via their personal accounts within the app.

“Over the past two years that we have offered a mobile app for the ICR XChange, the feedback all around has been tremendously positive. The new features we’ve included this year bring added convenience, engagement and interactivity,” said Tom Ryan, Chief Executive Officer, ICR.
