[DIV28SUPER] Fwd: [DIVOFFICERS] APA Convention App: New Division-Centric Feature

 

NEW! APA is pleased to announce new division-centric features to the 2014 convention mobile app making it easier to browse sessions by the following categories. The app is available to all registered attendees for the 2014 APA Convention. Information on login, password and unlock code will be sent to registrants by email.

This free app, sponsored by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, provides registrants a convenient and comprehensive way to navigate the APA Annual Convention. It's a native application for iPad and smartphones (iPhone and Android), a hybrid Web-based app for Blackberry, and a Web-based version of the application for all other Web browser-enabled phones.

 

The first time you open the app, you will be prompted for a login and password.  Instructions are provided after completing convention registration.

 

We are excited to bring this technology to attendees and exhibitors at this year's event and hope this enhances your convention experience.

 

Downloading the APA 2014 Convention mobile app is easy.

 

For iPhone (plus iPad and iPod Touch) and Android phones: Visit your App Store or Google Play on your device and search for "2014 APA Annual Convention".  The first time you open the app, you will be prompted for a login and password.  Instructions are provided after completing convention registration.

 

For all other phone types (including BlackBerry and all other Web browser-enabled phones): While on your smartphone, point your mobile browser to http://m.core-apps.com/apa2014.
