Bug Found in the Conference App for Note Taking

Save your notes!

If you are using the Conference App to take and save notes, apostrophes are causing notes to fail to save. Please do not use apostrophes when taking notes to ensure your event report is saved. As an added precaution, you can email yourself your notes via the "Email Event Notes" tab on the "More" screen.

We are working on a patch, but it is not live at this time.

Thank you for your understanding!

Poster Sessions: Not Just for the Science Crowd

If business card swapping is high on your to-do list for ASTD 2012, be sure to take a few minutes to check out the Community of Practice networking event(s). There are numerous chances to meet your community manager(s) as well as colleagues who share your professional interests at these events. And if you are interested in the Learning & Development Community, drop by Room 105 for networking, plus an L&D twist on an event that's more commonplace among the science and technology crowd.

The L&D gallery is our take on a mainstay at science, technical, and medical conferences—the poster session. Often used to present abstracts of highly-technical research, posters are powerful tools at conferences because they harness creative, visual devices to render intricate ideas in ways that are memorable for attendees.

Meet Some of the Industry's Most Successful Authors
