Growing faster than in an alfalfa field, apps are sucking our time like never before. What makes them so appealing? And how can you get in on the action? We’ll take you through the concept, design, dev and marketing of apps. We’ll review some of today’s more popular options. And we’ll share one of our own – Beer Fridge. Best part? John Lavelle from Beer Fridge will be on hand to dispense a bit of his deep knowledge of brews and share a crop of unique and amazing varieties with you. We’ll download the Beer Fridge app and rate the beers on the spot. So if you like apps and beer, this is your pig-in-shit opportunity.
