For the first time AIA and SCS will offer a program app for the joint annual meeting. The dedicated meeting app will be available for all iOS and Android devices. It will also feature a basic web version. The app features will include:
- Full program information for both organizations as well as affiliated groups
- Scheduling tools to create a customized agenda
- Exhibitor & exhibit hall information
- Opt-in registrant listing with in-app messaging functionality
- Twitter integration
- Venue and area maps
- All general information about the conference, as well as other features.
The app will be available in mid-December, and all registrants will receive an e-mail containing a link to download the app on their devices. The app will only download the full program content one time, but will update any changes whenever it is launched in an area where the device has Internet access (cellular or wifi). Updates will be pushed out to the app as needed throughout the conference. It will be fully functional (except for messaging and Twitter) even in areas of the conference hotel lacking wifi or cellular coverage.
