鈥楶aperless summit鈥

THE Netherlands launched the first “paperless” summit on Monday with a smartphone app at a nuclear security meeting in The Hague, replacing the traditional imitation leather conference bag stuffed with handouts.

The app, which is available for Android and Apple smartphones as well as on the web, was developed by summit sponsor ImgZine.

The app features live schedule updates, pictures of The Hague, and a GPS-linked map to guide visitors through the ultra-secure maze of buildings where the summit was being held.

So, why were not all delegates at the summit in The Hague happy with the onward march of technology?

“There’s no version for Blackberry,” one lost conference-goer snorted.
