Conference App

Below is a link you can send the conference app to your phone. You can send the text message to your phone from your computer and there are just a few steps. Including downloads this takes about 3 minutes, seriously. UPCEA staff member Patrick O’Rourke will be on site, mostly just inside the Texas Ballroom if you prefer face-to-face support.

Click this link http://guidebook.com/g/UPCEAMarketing2013/ and follow the three instructions on the page. The same instructions are below.
Enter your cell number, pick up your phone and wait for a text message (usually like 5 to 15 seconds).
Using your phone, download Guidebook by pressing on the link they send in the text message.
Search for UPCEA in the field at the top of the screen and select the marketing conference 2013 version.
Visit the General info icon to get your bearings and enjoy!

Why would I want the event App?
This guide should help you find sessions on a map and to build a personal list of sessions you want to see. This guide will also let you provide session and program feedback, can communicate program changes to attendees (like a session with a room change) and should enhance your overall experience.

What can I do with it?
Once you have followed the instructions and downloaded Guidebook and then the Marketing Conference version, visit the icon called General Info. You will find the same information from this email retyped there. You can always revisit the General Info icon if you get disoriented.

To find a session (from the program), select the schedule icon and tap sessions you find interesting. You could then tap "add to my schedule" There is a different icon called "my schedule" that keeps track of sessions you selected for you.
To find a session (on a map) select the schedule icon. First, you can practice by looking at the header above. You will see Hyatt Regency Austin. Tap there to see the hotel on the map, it even has a functioning compass if you venture into downtown (or are currently at the airport and want the hotel address). From the schedule, you can use this same technique to locate rooms and floors for sessions. I uploaded floorplans and put pins where the session will be.
To rate a session, visit the schedule icon and tap the title. Scroll to below the session description and evaluate there.
During the conference, we will reveal a new icon called "Event Feedback" which is not a single session form, but a total conference survey. A message will be sent to you through the app alerting you to this new icon.
To get program messages, visit the icon messages icon with an envelope icon.
