Mobile App Coming Soon

gmbaker — Wed, 02 Mar 2016 20:09:37 GMT

Great news! The SAS Global Forum mobile app will be available in mid-March - about a month before the event.

Once logged in, users can start early to earn points for the app game, network with other attendees, build an agenda, set up meetings with other attendees, and so much more.

Stay tuned to the SAS Global Forum website for the announcement of the mobile app availability in the Apple Store and Google Play.

Hi @gmbaker,

Do you know whether the SASGF Mobile App agenda will be linked to the web agenda? If people started working on their agenda using https://sasglobalforum2016.lanyonevents.com/connect/publicDashboard.ww when we install the app will the personal agenda appear or are they separate applications?

Kind Regards,

Michelle

Great question, @MichelleHomes. Yes. You login with the same username and password you used to build your agenda in the conference scheduler. Once logged in, the mobile device will sync with your customized agenda.

HI @moorsd!

I am glad to hear you will be attending SAS Global Forum again this year. Unfortunately, I will not be able to catch up with my SAS friends in Vegas this April as I will be on maternity leave. 🙂 Enjoy the conference and see you next time!!

That's a shame, but congratulation on the birth of your little one. Enjoy your time off. See you at SASGF17, perhaps? Not sure where it is in 2017!

Take care,

David

Gail,

Well, I think that is as good an excuse for skipping SAS Global Forum as I have ever heard! (Except for me skipping SAS Global Forum 2015 to run the London Marathon).

CONGRATULATIONS on this wonderful news; and best wishes for a quick delivery on your 9-month project!!!!!!!

@MMMIIIIKKKKEEEE, wait...what? You're running the London Marathon? How awesome is that? What sort of time do you expect to run? Congrats @gmbaker! I didn't know.

Any chance the app will be available for Blackberry? some of us still use them ....

jwaller — Mon, 07 Mar 2016 18:15:46 GMT

@gmbaker would know best. I know that we are going to have someone test the functionality on a Blackberry, but I am not sure if there is an actual app that will be created or whether Blackberry users will use a web version.

Re: Mobile App Coming Soon

gmbaker — Tue, 08 Mar 2016 13:46:33 GMT

Hi @jimw and @jwaller,

Blackberry users will be able to access the mSite (web version) of the app. Details with all applicable links are coming next week.

Thanks for the great question!

Re: Mobile App Coming Soon

jimw — Thu, 17 Mar 2016 15:43:15 GMT

Hi. I just tried the mSite of the app. When I tried to open My Agenda, i am getting an error message: "A technical problem has occurred when trying to access the requested page". I am trying to access with Blackberry Z10. Just a note related to other posts on the Agenda, I was able to view my Agenda on the Visitor Portal (Desktop Web Browser), but can't see the sessions I have identified as Interests.

Re: Mobile App Coming Soon

jimw — Thu, 17 Mar 2016 16:32:32 GMT

You can ignore my comment about viewing interests. I just saw the post that we can double book to see all sessions we are interested in.

gmbaker — Thu, 17 Mar 2016 16:40:15 GMT

@jimw, I have sent the error to the vendor for review. I will let you know when i hear more about how to resolve the issue. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

Re: Mobile App Coming Soon

gmbaker — Thu, 17 Mar 2016 17:25:29 GMT

@jimw, the vendor has not been able to replicate the issue. I first tried the link and got the same error and realized it was because I was using the wrong username. Then it worked the second time I tried. Can you confirm that you are using the email address you registered with for the conference or the username that was sent to you?

Re: Mobile App Coming Soon

jimw — Thu, 17 Mar 2016 19:55:59 GMT

I am using the username that was sent to me. I did try another browser but received the same error message.

I can open the Visitor Portal (Destop Web Browesr) version on my phone and am able to open My Agenda on that.
