Applause 2017: Around 200 App Marketing professionals gather together Skip to main content

Applause 2017 was a success!

Last Saturday, May 27th, was a fantastic day: We celebrated the second edition of Applause! Around 200 app marketing professionals gathered together at W Barcelona to enjoy the unique App Marketing and Mobile Growth congress in Spain, organized by PickASO and TheTool. It was a huge success because we sold out all tickets and everyone enjoyed the congress!

Applause speakers shared with us their know-how and interesting case studies during eleven keynotes and two panel discussions. Besides, after each presentation attendees could ask questions about all their doubts and talk with speakers during breaks. Networking was the strongest point of the congress, everyone enjoyed and got the most out of it while having lunch at the incredible Eclipse Bar and of course during the Happy Hour at the terrace.

Did you know that the congress became trending topic in Barcelona? Yes, we did it again with the hashtag #ApplauseBCN! If you want to know how was it, keep on reading and find out why Applause is so special 😉
