SPARKcon is a showcase of creativity, talent and ideas of “The Creative Hub of the South,” the Triangle area of North Carolina. Now in its 5th year, this year’s SPARKcon took over all of downtown Raleigh with hundreds of events, performances, and workshops, including over 1700 different local artists. With such a “creative potluck” right in our backyard, we couldn’t wait to get involved. Knowing that thousands of visitors would need an easy way to follow and spread the word about the wide variety of events, we decided to take the SPARKcon experience to another level and help develop the conference’s first mobile phone app.
For anyone with an Android based phone, our SPARKcon application provides lists of all the latest events information. The app also provides check-in capability with TriOut and FourSquare taking advantage of mobile phone cameras and QR code technology for the festival’s check-in services.
The addition of a mobile application supporting the event not only raises the level of innovation, but also helps increase the Triangle’s reputation nationally as a magnet for the creative use of technology.
