(January 2013) IMPACT launches its Event Calendar Application on Android and expects to see a total of 200,000 users from two major Smartphone platforms by the end of 2013. The application, which now can be downloaded from Play Store, adds more functions to facilitate online users who seek events and promotions. New features include an event reminder, Facebook sharing function, application rating function, and push notification for new promotions from IMPACT outlets.

Mr. Paul Kanjanapas, Managing Director of IMPACT Exhibition Management Co., Ltd. said that, IMPACT has been offering the Event Calendar Application on IOS for iPhone users since early 2012. Currently, there are over 80,000 downloads and its success has inspired the company to expand more services to more users. Android users can now search for calendar events including exhibitions, consumer or trade events, conferences, concerts, or other activities at IMPACT Exhibition Centre.

“We expect to see the number of IMPACT application downloads to mobile devices hit 200,000 by the end of this year. This tool is not only useful for communicating with event visitors, it is also a marketing channel which we can conduct activities to draw more fans and business partners. Through the application, users can find promotions or exclusive offers from IMPACT restaurant outlets and shops within IMPACT,” said Mr. Paul.

IMPACT Event Calendar Application is developed to facilitate users who seek information of events. The user friendly interface displays events by list or calendar format. Schedules and details of each event can be shown in both Thai and English languages. Links to the official event page or the event organizer’s website are also provided. For those who are fans of concerts at IMPACT Arena, there are also links to the online ticket booking sites. In addition, there is a function to share event details on your Facebook wall or interact with IMPACT through IMPACT’s Facebook fan page.

According to Mr. Paul, IMPACT Exhibition Center is the first exhibition venue that has developed an application for Smartphone users. Besides the application, IMPACT also connects with its event fans through Facebook, twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Currently, the exhibition center has over 20,000 fans on its Facebook page.
