CONNECTME. CONNECT PRE-EVENT. CONTINUE CONVERSATIONS AFTERWARDS.

IHHA 2025 & WCRR 2025, like all Informa events, will utilise the bespoke dynamic smartphone app, ConnectMe – which guarantees attendees a premium event experience. Logins are sent prior to the conference commencement allowing you to check who’s attending, schedule in meetings and catch ups, participate in live Q+A and interactive polls, and much more. ConnectMe ensures you never miss a beat prior, during and post event.

Top tips:

  • Login early and create a profile – include a picture so that other attendees can easily find you and connect in Colorado
  • Browse the attendee list, send messages and start conversations before you arrive
  • Arrange a quick video chat to introduce yourself and plan a time to meet at one of the dedicated meeting spaces on-site
