Chicon 7, the 70th World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon), is pleased to
announce that it will be providing its members with an online application for
handheld devices that provides key convention information. The app was developed
in partnership with Viafo (www.viafo.com) and
is available for Android phones and tablets through Google Play, and will
shortly be available for iPhone and iPad through the iTunes App
Store.
The Chicon 7 app is an enhanced version of the software that was
previously used for Renovation, the 2011 Worldcon. The app includes a full
program schedule with item descriptions, times, and locations; a linked program
participant list; social media integration; and hotel maps. A key improvement
from Renovation is that the app now comes with an integrated version of the
program database, enabling it to be used offline. Members can resynchronize the
app at any time to provide the latest version of the program.
Full
information and download details can be found on the Chicon 7 website at www.chicon7.org/mobile.php.
