The ACTE Berlin Conference app is designed to work with nearly all handheld devices. For attendees with an iPhone, it can be loaded directly from the Apple App Store through by searching for "ACTE Berlin." Blackberry owners can download the app from http://acte.quickmobile.com/bb. For all other devices with Internet access, visit the fully functional mobile Web site at http://acte.quickmobile.com.
In addition to resources open to the public, ACTE’s mobile app also provides services, such as the attendee list and participant-to-participant messaging exclusively to conference registrants.
