This year, ICA is teaming up with Guidebook to bring you the conference program as a Mobile App! Instead of lugging around a conventional paper program, enjoy the convenience of having the entire program in the palm of your hand with ICA’s Conference App. Use the app to view sessions, plan your daily schedule, navigate the conference halls, and engage in social media with other conference goers. It’s easy to use, environmentally friendly, and no paper cuts.
No need to worry about roaming charges— Guidebook downloads the guide to your mobile device, allowing you to view information without connecting to wi-fi or needing a cell signal.
The Mobile App is compatible with iPhone, Android, and Blackberry phones.
Features:
Schedule & My Schedule: The entire schedule is right on your phone. You can pick sessions and add them to your personalized agenda with reminders. If you want more details, simply click on a session.
Exhibitions: Learn more about presenters and exhibitors at Phoenix in the "Presenters" section. After finding out where your favorite exhibitors have set up, you can add them to your to-do list.
Journals: Read abstracts of articles published in ICA journals right on your phone, and follow links to articles of interest.
Maps: View high-resolution maps of the venue. You can scroll and zoom in order to navigate your way around the conference, finding room numbers and points of interest.
How to Get It:
When asked which form of program you would like, select the "Mobile App" option during Registration.
Download the Guidebook App for free and select ICA before the conference. ICA’s Mobile App will be available mid-May.
