Mike interviews Howard Givner who created the SuperPlanner Mobile Application for our Going Digital show here at Meetings Podcast. Howard is filling a badly needed niche for event technology- mobile applications. We all carry mobile phones which are mini computers that can help meeting planners save their backs and minds.

Howard talks about his background, and his new mobile application which gives meeting planners valuable information at their fingertips.
