The CMS Berlin app is your smart companion for your visit to the trade show. In the free app, you will find exhibitor and product information, a detailed program overview, interactive hall plans & networking opportunities. You can create lists of favorites directly in the app or log in with your profile from the CMS PLUS platform and have your favorites, contacts and meeting schedule displayed in the app as well. A QR code for networking is generated from your personal profile in the CMS Berlin app. This can be scanned by other app users on site at the trade fair, automatically creating a link between the networking profiles in the app, which can be found under Contacts. Your ticket is also automatically saved in the app if you log in with the email address that you entered in the ticket shop. Both the QR code and your ticket can be found at the top right of the CMS Berlin app start page.
