In less then 2 weeks this years Eclipse Conference will start in San Francisco.
Unfortunately I’m not there this time because exactly same week the MobileTechCon (MTC) happens in Munich, where I’ll speak at two sessions.
Of course – as all the years before – I developed the Conference2Go EclipseCon App for BlackBerry 10 devices. You can download the app from BlackBerry World here:
Here are some screenshots:

Here’s the Sessionlist: select the day from segmented titlebar:

tapping on the room shows you the room of the session. Session-rooms are marked yellow to find them easy.
of course you can pinch & zoom
scheduled items are marked gray:
session details. you can select session as favorite. if you connected the app from settings with a Calendar, your session will inserted as event into the calendar.
Open the Calendar event directly from inside the app. please notice support of timezone: in this case I scheduled a session from germany and the app automatically created the event in Pacific Time (-8)

Remember (Evernote) is integrated into BlackBerry 10. From Session details you can add Notes (Text, Image, Audio) and from Venue Tab you’ll get an overview of all your notes. The good thing: coming back home from the conference you’ll find all notes on your desktop synchronized by Evernote.
You can also jump directly to the conference website.
