CTIA Selects SocialRadar as Official Super Mobility Week Networking App

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CTIA-The Wireless Association® and SocialRadar announced a partnership today to change the way people meet and connect during Super Mobility Week. Using the SocialRadar app, when attendees arrive at the conference, they will know who is there, how they are connected and what they have been up to, while retaining full control over their privacy.

Available for iOS and Android, the SocialRadar app gives users real-time information about the people around them. Combining real-time social network and geo-location data, the app merges information from the top social networks, including Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Foursquare and Google+, from your device.

Attendees can use the app today by:

1. Downloading the app on the Apple Store or Google Play
2. Using the side Navigation Menu and selecting "Join Group"
3. Selecting "CTIA Super Mobility Week"

"Networking is one of the top reasons people attend Super Mobility Week – North America's Largest Wireless Event. By offering our 40,000 attendees SocialRadar, they can identify who they want to talk with before they even arrive which will help them break the ice and strengthen business relationships at CTIA," said Robert Mesirow, CTIA Vice President and Show Director.

"When we thought of the idea of SocialRadar, we knew that conferences and events would be the perfect scenario for professionals to meet and connect using our app," said Michael Chasen, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of SocialRadar. "Our vision was to create technology that combines the smartphone's location and the power of social networks, empowering people to improve the way they network. We're excited to partner with CTIA to beta test our conference functionality."
