This android app is designed with an intention to help the persons visiting the GITEX (Gulf Information Technology Exhibition).With the exquisite event stand that Sharjah e-Government possessed, it had a dome-type venue with numerous Majlis (tables with provision for meeting and discussion) that spanned over two floors.
