We've got an app for that!

Visit the SAS Global Forum website to download the app.

Use the app to navigate the conference, network with other attendees, play the app game to win great prizes, build your agenda, and so much more.

I'm in (using the Android app)! Now I just need some friends in the Networking section.

I've downloaded it too! My favorite part is the Activity Stream. I love seeing everyone's event experience through what they post. It's like a social channel, but only event attendees can see it!

I've also downloaded the app! It's great! I love being able to see all of my sessions right in one place 🙂

Excited to see the app is available!

In setting up my profile on the iPad, I went to change the country and found that I'm unable to. @gmbaker are you able to speak to the vendor?

Thanks!

I'm in! I see you - but I have not yet figured out how to send a message or make a connection!

Go to Networking and either search for people or click on Everyone in the bottom right corner. When you click on a person you can then send them a message, request a meeting invite etc. I've sent you a message

Under the Networking icon, search for someone or select "Everyone" at the bottom right of the screen on the iPhone. Find the person you want to connect with. The select the icon with the two people shaking hands at the bottom of the screen on the right to set up a meeting. Click on the word bubble icon to send a message (I just sent you one). I think you can press the person icon at the bottom to establish a connection.

Great minds think alike, Michelle.

Did you know you can start accumulating points in the SASGF Event Game?

With a few people using the app I managed to reach the top of the leaderboard! (My first and last time I think)

Go into App Game and read how you can get points, trophies and see your name on the game leaderboard!!! Oh and the rules are there too...

Funny we both replied @jwaller! I was curious about the icons and used them to work out what they were - would be useful to have some instructions or a "How To" on the app.

Cheers,

Michelle

@MichelleHomes and @jwaller, the how to use video on the mobile app is coming soon. It is in editing as we speak.

Re: We've got an app for that!

jwaller — Fri, 18 Mar 2016 12:50:07 GMT

You are always one step ahead of us @gmbaker! Looking forward to seeing the video.

I am in 3rd on the leaderboard in the app game, @MichelleHomes. I doubt I will maintain my ranking and fully expect to drop as other attendees begin to use the app. But it is a fun way to connect before, during and after the conference!

Challenge accepted 😉

Thanks @gmbaker! I saw the Videos area in the app and the are How-To Videos which are SAS Global Forum 2015 related videos. I'm guessing they're simply placeholders until the 2016 videos are ready.

The app's functionality and features have come a long way from the first conference with a mobile app. Great work!

I echo that suggestion

Re: We've got an app for that!

LoriGoldman — Fri, 18 Mar 2016 14:36:59 GMT

@jwaller - How do you find the app game. I have twelve icons on my iphone app home page and none of them are for the App Game. I didn't see it underr the Event Resources or Social icons. Where is it hiding?

Thank you,

Lori

jwaller — Fri, 18 Mar 2016 14:47:07 GMT

There are more icons is you swipe to the second page. The App Game is on the second page with a couple other resource icons.

I found some time to explore the app now. Yes, I found the game. I am actually posting this from inside the app now.

I supposed I will have to win the game now then a few weeks before the conference. LOL
