As Surfaces 2012 and StonExpo is fast approaching, be prepared to learn about new floor covering products just by carrying your smartphone or tablet.

Even before taking off, there are a couple of apps to download to make your trip easier and more enjoyable during the layovers at the airport or the taxi ride to the hotel.

S2 (The Official App of Surfaces 2012 and StonExpo)
This app contains all the latest and greatest that these shows have to offer. You can create your schedule, find exhibitors or read live comments. The entire list of exhibitors is available, allowing you to select the exhibitors you want to see. The app will then create a map for easy locating. S2 also has an education portion for both Surfaces 2012 and StonExpo sessions along with the featured speakers. Also, if you are into social media, there are also categories for both Facebook and Twitter to get the latest show updates and info.

TripIt
TripIt is a social network designed to make your travel easier by containing all your travel information in on location for easy 24/7 access. From your airline ticket confirmation to rental car information, everything you need (excluding your ID or passport).

Be sure to find us on Tuesday January 24 at this year’s Surfaces 2012 and StonExpo to get all the application and digital guidance you need.
