Gartner Conference Navigator

Extremely useful for browsing Gartner’s extensive conference session options and building a coherent agenda, and then navigating to your sessions once on site. Would rate 5 stars if there was a way to add personal items to my agenda, like 1:1 networking meetings with other attendees or Gartner EP, or a phone calls I need to make back to the office. It’s hard to manage the day from both app and calendar at once, and while export to calendar is ok, I lose all the other benefits of navigating from within the Events app. Please add a feature to “add personal plans”!

This application is essential to navigate the packed ITxpo Symposium. The challenge with the conference is that most of the key sessions are full within two days of when Gartner opens up the session registration. Your only option is to show up at a session that indicates it is full and see if there are available seats. I am told that this always works however there is no way to track these full sessions in the app as potentials to attend. It would be nice - let me rephrase - it is essential to add some type of wait list function to effectively track sessions you want to attend.

Extremely helpful while you are in an event. You don’t have to keep referring to the physical agenda and keep searching for the venue. This app reduces lot of your effort to help you attend the right event, help you the find the location and taking notes too. This app also allows you to download the content right to your phone so that you don’t have to take photos of the slides.

A must-have for attending a Gartner event, no doubt. Performance and UI complaints: - it just freezes sometimes. My other apps don’t do this. I’m guessing that it’s during a sync or information retrieval. When it freezes I can’t scroll, select, etc. - it tries to be too smart on some screens, such as auto-scrolling to “now”, etc. Problem is that it doesn’t always do so promptly, resulting in missed or inaccurate selections. - the ease of de-selecting agenda items also means that it’s easy to miss and hit the wrong one. When looking at “my agenda” it would be preferable to either require confirmation or entering edit mode to remove. Since there are no alternative apps I know that I’m shouting down a well. Between sessions today there’s not much else to do.

For some reason the app would not sync with my agenda leaving me flying blind for day one. In general, the app lacks functionality--like being able to filter for open sessions against my agenda and seeing my agenda in a calendar view. It would also be nice to allow the app to insert each session on my agenda into my calendar on mobile device.
