IBM Events

People were nice. I would walk miles to hear Ginni and many of the Innovation talks, etc, however this event was clearly inferior to last year in Las Vegas because: San Francisco is a wonderful town but is a very poor choice for the venue. It was raining and cold most of the entire week. SF is always chilly except for early fall. May 2020 will not be much better with the fog rolling in. The Moscone center, etc, etc is complicated and not very easy to find where to go. The IBM assistants were quite nice but almost none of them knew any actionable details about the events and exactly where they were. It was clearly undesirable to have to stand out in the rain in line waiting for a popular event. There were several inspiring Innovation events but much fewer than last year which was very disappointing. The food was at best mediocre or worse. I only ate once at event. Not enough coffee stations. GO BACK TO Las Vegas or Los Angeles or......

The application and its concept is very good, user friendly. Glitches I encounter consistently is when I review an update alert, the application freezes and I have to close it out and restart. Also, when I am on the notes tab for sessions I have attended, when I want to close the tab to save my notes, the application freeze so I don’t believe my notes are being saved because I am forced to get out of the application, the Done button is deactivated.

The app is great to use, but not being able to add one-off meetings and events means I still have to try and keep my personal schedule synched up with the app. Adding that would raise my rating to 5 stars.

Took a while to sync sessions but app is very usable and has many great features like Client Insights

I put notes on my first session and they disappeared. I tried again on day 2 and they seem to be sticking. But I received a text from an exhibitor and closed the window. I can’t find how to reopen the window so I can reply to him. He’s not going to be happy.
