With business winding down into the holiday season, companies who provide services to the trade show industry continue to score new contracts before the end of the year.
Event technology company, Core-Apps, has been selected to provide mobile apps for Professional Convention Management Association’s signature events in 2017, including the Convening Leaders and Education Conferences.
Core-apps also will support a mobile app help desk and a tech kiosk at both events.
“Our renewed partnership with PCMA is a testament to the great experience the organization has with our team and our platform,” said Jay Tokosch, Core-apps CEO.
He added, “We have always welcomed the opportunity to help our industry colleagues enhance their own events through our technology. This renewed contract gives us the ability to further expand our partnership and to continue to collaborate with PCMA on innovation and experimentation for their audiences and events.”
Some of the new features available for the 2017 PCMA event apps include Gamification and the enhanced use of iBeacons.
PCMA’s Convening Leaders event will feature the new app functionality and will be available for attendees to use prior to the January 2017 conference.
“PCMA is excited to renew our partnership with Core-apps as the provider for our event apps in 2017. This year's enhancements will further advance the experience for our attendees, and the always evolving Core-apps platform plays a key part in our overall digital strategy” said Peter Wigren, PCMA’s Senior Vice President, Digital Strategy and Integrated Media.

Water Stewardship Efforts
MGM Resorts understands the importance of using water efficiently, especially in the desert destination of Las Vegas. Conserving water has always been part of the mission, but MGM Resorts has expanded its ambition into water stewardship.
In 2022, MGM Resorts President and CEO Bill Hornbuckle signed the CEO Water Mandate—a UN Global Compact initiative mobilizing business leaders to advance water stewardship. MGM Resorts International was the first gaming company to take this important step.
MGM Resorts replaced 200,000 square feet of real grass with drought-tolerant landscaping in Las Vegas.
MGM Resorts pledges to reduce water withdrawal intensity by 33% by 2025 and by 35% by 2030.
From 2007-2021, use of more than 5.6 billion gallons of water was avoided because of conservation efforts.
Caring for One Another
MGM Resorts’ Food Donations Program collects and preserves unserved food from conventions held at MGM Resorts properties, then safely donates to food insecure people in the community. Since the program’s launch in 2016, more than 3.7 million meals toward a 2025 goal of 5 million meals have been donated into the community. Donations include:
Unserved perishable prepared foods from events
Perishable unprepared food from MGM Resorts’ kitchens
Nonperishable food items from minibars and warehouses
The collaboration with Southern Nevada’s primary food bank, Three Square, has developed the infrastructure needed to safely collect, transport, and store food from MGM Resorts properties in Las Vegas, reducing food waste while serving the community.
