NGS Conference Mobile App Released

I was excited to receive the following announcement from the National Genealogical Association! The mobile apps are now such a convenience to reference the conference schedule, map and syllabus.

Mobile Conference App released–ready for download

Get the most from your NGS 2015 Family History Conference experience by downloading the mobile app. Use the app to help you make the most of your trip to St. Charles before, during and after the conference.

The NGS Conference App is available for iOS, Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone, and web-enabled devices. Search your app store for NGS Family History Conferences.

New this year, we have introduced a multi-event NGS app. This allows attendees to download a single app and access all current and future NGS conferences by adding new events to this app.

The NGS Conference App is completely free! To download, go to http://conference.ngsgenealogy.org/attend/mobile-app/.

 Features include: 
  • The Dashboard to keep you organized with up-to-the-minute information
  • About the NGS 2015 Family History Conference to keep all conference information in one place
  • Alerts of important real-time communications from NGS
  • Twitter feed to follow and join in on the conference chatter. The Twitter hashtag is #NGS2015GEN.
You can also
  • Sync your schedule across multiple devices
  • Locate exhibitors you plan to visit
  • Access a list of Local Places based on Category
  • Connect, message, and share schedules with your colleagues through the Friends feature
  • Link to syllabus material for each lecture, which will be available about 29 April 2015
We encourage you to begin using the app now so you can plan and improve your conference experience in St. Charles.
