Finally arrived in Boston for the OACAC BOS10 – Overseas Association for College Admission Counseling Conference. Traffic delays brought me into the city well past midnight, and onto the Northeastern campus at almost 1.30am. I remembered that the last email from the OACAC team had mentioned an iPhone App, since I didn’t have my agenda on me, I quickly downloaded it in the hopes it would actually be, you know, helpful.
Wow, thanks so much to the web development team at Northeaststern for putting the tjme into developing the rockin’ OACAC BOS10 conference app for the iPhone. A simple to use interface allows even the frazzled traveler to stay organized. The interface and nice and simple:

The agenda is easy to access, each session is listed on there, and all the pretty social media icons are easy to access (facebook, twitter, flickr). Be sure to properly tag the conference if you will be tweeting with the #BOS10 hashtag (however, I think lots of people will just use the #OACAC10 hashtag as well).

The *only* item I would have added would have been a campus map – or maybe that was only needed while searching for the housing dorm at 1.30am after arriving on that much delayed flight.
NAFSA better not have ANY excuses for not having an app available for next year’s conference!
If you didn’t already download it, what are you waiting for?! See you all in a few hours!

Love the post and agree we need something like this for #nafsa11 and beyond! Thanks for posting this! Quick question ~ how did you get the screen shots? Many thanks, David
David, thanks for the comment! I just took a snapshot of my screen (hold the home button & power off button at the same time) and then emailed it to myself
The app has been SO useful during this conference, I am sure we will have one for NAFSA next year!
