Set Up Your Accounts
As a Bloomberg Connects partner, the tools you'll use to create your digital guide—and the mobile app that will deliver it to your visitors—are completely free of charge. A team of engineers, UX experts, and researchers provides round-the-clock technical support and a steady stream of feature enhancements that respond to the needs of the community.
All you need to do is supply the content!
