ILTA Mobile Updates
For our iPhone and BlackBerry app users, you will be prompted several times a day by the app that New Updated Data is available. To ensure you have the latest conference agenda and session details, please be sure to accept the data updates. This process normally only takes a few seconds. Check out the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the mobile app, which can be found here: http://conference.iltanet.org/mobile.
We’re wanting to get an estimate of attendees at Thursday evening’s dinner and awards gala. Please take five seconds to tell us your plans (yes or no) at this link: http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22B4HJU4DHD.
Members, continue to play Vendor Bingo in order to participate the drawing for fabulous prizes. Today’s Globe has a list of the contributing vendors and their prize donations. Check it out! The drawing will be held tomorrow morning at 11:45 in the Exhibit Hall, and you must be present to win. See the Globe for more details.
Our Emerging Technologies Peer Group is piloting an application similar to Google maps, but for indoor spaces, called Micello. Micello is available for IPhone and Android, in the App Store and Android Market, respectively. While Micello is limited by poor geolocation coverage within the convention center, the interactive maps are useful and exciting. Using Micello, you can select a level of the convention center, drill down into maps within maps, and search vendors and rooms, including the exhibit hall and demo rooms. The best example of Micello’s interactive functionality is the View of the Bristlecone Ballroom. Open the “map-within-a-map” for the Bristlecone Ballroom, either search for a vendor or open the list of vendors (lower-right button), select a vendor and find that vendor as it is highlighted on the map.
Events for Wednesday, August 25:
Manny Medrano presents today’s super session, Conquering the Tough Times Ahead, in the Pinyon Ballroom at 8:00 a.m. In this tough economic environment, law firms and law departments have to work harder to overcome obstacles and coordinate their efforts to thrive. Fear and self doubt can set in. Manny will challenge you to conquer fear and uncertainty during these difficult times and inspire you to embark on your own journey to reach personal and professional goals.
The LEDES Oversight Committee Bi-Annual Members Meeting will be held this morning at 9:00 a.m. in Ironwood 8. It is followed at 11:00 a.m. by the LEDES-Uniform Task-Based Management Systems (UTBMS) Initiatives. See the Globe for details.
There is no planned event for this evening; you are on your own for dinner. Enjoy the great restaurants at ARIA or nearby, or have fun at the many vendor networking events that are planned.
Enjoy the day!
