Vienna Vape Show

Vienna Vape Show is the official companion app for the Vienna Vape Show 2016, designed to help visitors, vendors and industry professionals prepare for and navigate the two-day e-cigarette fair. The app centralises practical tools on a single device so you can handle ticketing, plan travel, and follow on-site news without switching between multiple websites or printouts. For both first-time attendees and returning exhibitors the Vienna Vape Show app aims to reduce friction around arrival, participation and discovery during the event.

Key Features

The app supports direct ticket purchases for day passes, full-fair access and vendor or VIP options, letting you complete secure transactions and store e-tickets within the app for quick scanning at the venue. Detailed venue maps illustrate the full 6,000 m² exhibition floor, vendor rows and key facilities, and integrated travel guidance covers public transport connections, parking zones and nearby accommodation suggestions. Real-time news and schedule updates keep you informed about talks, product demonstrations and contest announcements, while the photo gallery archives highlights from previous years to help you preview exhibitors and layouts. Vendor-oriented tools include support for ticket batch issuing, contest entry management and badge scanning, which streamline exhibitor logistics without requiring a separate desktop workflow.

Controls and Navigation

Interaction is designed around clear, touch-first controls for quick one-hand use on smartphones. The primary navigation groups tickets, map, schedule and news into top-level tabs with consistent gestures for back and forward movement. Ticket checkout uses standard form controls with progress indicators and confirmation screens; maps support pinch-to-zoom and tap-to-centre, and vendor pages open with swipeable image galleries and detailed contact information. Notifications are delivered through the device system to announce schedule changes or contest results; notification preferences are adjustable so you control which alerts are shown. These design choices make common tasks like locating a booth or checking in to a talk fast and predictable.

Event Planning, Progression and Personalisation

The app includes a simple progression system for planning your visit: add sessions and vendor booths to a personal itinerary, mark favourites to create an efficient route across the exhibition floor, and receive reminders ahead of scheduled items. Progression is user-driven and flexible — as you complete sessions or visit vendors you can archive items to keep the list focused on remaining attractions. Personalisation options let you filter the exhibitor list by category, save contact details for follow-up after the event and store digital vouchers or point cards for on-site redemption. For exhibitors, the app supports management of entries to Mod + Liquid contests and tracks submission status and winner announcements so you can follow the contest lifecycle from entry to result within the same interface.

Visual Style, Level Structure and Replay Value

The visual presentation emphasises clear typography and high-contrast maps for readability in busy, well-lit exhibition halls. Photography and vendor graphics are shown in a compact gallery format to minimise bandwidth while still providing visual context. The app’s structure organises content into logical levels — overall event overview, daily schedules, exhibitor directories and venue maps — so returning users can quickly jump to the section they need. Although the core utility is concentrated around the event dates, the app retains value before and after the fair by serving as a record of contacts, vendor portfolios and contest outcomes that users can reference later.

Accessibility, Offline Use and User Experience

Accessibility considerations include large tap targets, readable font sizes and support for common screen readers where platform capabilities allow. Key data such as purchased tickets, maps and saved itineraries are cached for limited offline use so users can access essential information when mobile networks are poor inside large venues. The UX focuses on reducing steps for frequent tasks: buying and presenting tickets, finding toilets and food outlets, and checking contest rules or results. Settings allow users to manage data usage and toggle image loading for slower connections.

Practical Notes and Limitations

Users should note that several features, such as contest participation, voucher redemption and certain exhibitor services, require on-site presence at the Vienna Vape Show to complete or redeem. The app is event-specific and its full functionality is most relevant during the fair period; however, archived galleries, contacts and notes remain available for later reference. Account registration may be required for vendor and exhibitor functions, and the app follows standard privacy practices to handle ticketing and contact details during the event lifecycle.
