Thank you for asking. Happy to explain best I can. 🙂 In the past 6 months or so, there was a communication from Apple about how they will be structuring new apps in the App Store in the near future (app containers). To get ahead of what is believed to be a mandate soon, we collaborated with the app provider to offer our conference app within the AttendeeHub. It is the understanding of several app providers I've talked to that this will be the direction for all new Apple apps in the future (i am unaware of a specified timeframe). And not knowing when the switch will be flipped, we wanted to be in the AttendeeHub in case the mandate came down during this event. As far as Google, they don't have such a direction as of yet (to my knowledge). But for ease of deployment, we do execute apps the same for Apple Store and Google Play. I hope this helps. We tried to provide clear step-by-step instructions for downloading so that it is clear the event app is in an app container like AttendeeHub. I have received some feedback to help improve those steps and look forward to implementing for the next event. I welcome any additional feedback you may have especially about the app functionalities as we continue to expand our strategy for mobile app and gaming at SAS Global Forum. Thanks! See you in Denver. Safe travels.

We are so close to the start of SAS Global Forum in Denver (for the first time). Here are some fun facts about Denver that I learned while preparing for the conference: (1) There’s a reason why Denver is nicknamed the Mile High City. At an elevation of 5,280 feet, it’s precisely 1 mile above sea level. (2) DID YOU KNOW DENVER IS ACTUALLY FLAT? That’s because the city is not in the Rocky Mountains, but at the base of the mountain range. It is built on a high plane making it one of America’s flattest cities. (3) NEED TO UP YOUR GOLF GAME? Then tee off in Denver! Golf balls travel about 10 percent farther in higher altitudes. (4) LOOKING FOR A UNIQUE BREW? Chances are you’ll find it in Denver. That’s because Denver brews more beer than any other city in the US. More than 200 different beers are brewed daily. BTW, you will be able to try some during the networking receptions. (5) WANT MORE SUNSHINE? You’ll catch more rays here than in San Diego or Miami! That’s because Denver averages 300 days of sunshine each year.
