The DDW® 2017 mobile planner is live! Consisting of the online planner and mobile app, these comprehensive tools place the meeting in an easy to navigate, centralized location. They help attendees navigate the meeting’s science, exhibitors, and events from their mobile devices.
Before you head to DDW, use the planner on your desktop to start building your schedule. Then sync that plan to the DDW Mobile App on your device (must log in) to access to all planning resources and further personalize your DDW schedule on site. To sync with your schedule in the online planner, you will need to be connected to a network and log in using your badge ID and last name.
The app is available in both Apple App and Google Play Stores. If you have an iOS device, you will need to know your Apple ID and password, even though this is a free app download. If you have the DDW 2016 app on your device, you must re-download the new app for 2017 to access this year’s content.
