PUG Challenge Americas - There's an App for That!

Thanks to the ever vigilant eye of Scott Duleki and the MWUG we have something new for PUG Challenge this year! (Scott also provided the following write-up which has been mildly edited to reflect PUG Challenge Americas details -- any errors are ours).

What is it?

EventBoard Mobile is created by Falafel Software and is available for iOS (aka Apple, including iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad), Android, and Windows Phone 7 devices (sorry, Blackberry addicts). Both the app and the conference agenda are free to download and install. It allows you to view and search for conference sessions by name, speaker, track, and time slot. Once a conference catalog is downloaded, the information is stored locally on your device, making it accessible even if you’re not. You can also mark favorite sessions, plan sessions, and rate sessions.

Where do I get the App?

Go to your app store or marketplace and search for "Falafel" or "Eventboard". You should see an app by Falafel Software called "EventBoard" or "EventBoard Mobile". Download and install!

What do I do after I have it?

Out of the box, you can open the PUG Challenge Americas agenda (and other conferences too!) and examine them. Look for the PUG Challenge Americas conference – conferences are listed by date. If you don’t see any current conferences, click on All Conferences!

Wander around a conference agenda to get a feel for how it works. Look up speakers and topics. See what’s happening when and where, and figure out what interests you.

If you sign up for a free account, you can set favorites and plan out your agenda. You can also rate the sessions afterward - just remember to be honest!

So what do I do after that?

Use the app at the conference and tell us about it. Give us your feedback, good and bad. What do you like, what don’t you like, what would you like to see? we want it all. Send your feedback to, info@pugchallenge.org and we will make sure it gets addressed.
