NW Events with iPhone/iPod apps

This year with technology, events have been moving to embrace more and more social media. Some events have chosen to create profiles on various Web 2.0 services such as Facebook, Flickr, MySpace, Twitter, and Youtube to list a few. Now, an upcoming trend appears to be taking hold with events developing their own apps that can be used on Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch's. Below is some examples of these apps.
