New NGS Conference Mobile App

I downloaded the new NGS 2013 Family History Conference app and I love it. I have already planned out my conference schedule and have it on both my iPhone and iPad. Here are some of the app features I find useful:

• Browse by speaker so that you are sure not to miss any of your favorites
• Read about the exhibitors and star the ones you want to visit
• Access maps of the conference center and exhibit hall to locate rooms and vendors at the conference
• Follow Twitter feeds right from the app
• Share contact information with friends
• Download handouts when they become available
• See news and updates

 

Julie Miller has given me permission to share the announcement about the new mobile app from the NGS 2013 Family History Conference blog:
