PAX East guides added to free iOS and Android convention app

by Randy Nelson on Mar 4th 2011 1:00AM

Attending PAX East 2011? There's an app for that. Proxima Labs' Conventionist, an app designed expressly for staying organized during conventions, has been updated with a guide to PAX East's panels, exhibitors and pretty much anything you'd need to know about the show.

The app for free for iOS and Android, and has some handy features, such as reminder messages (so you don't miss panels) and maps (so you know where they'll be). It sounds pretty indispensable. Might we suggest adding the Joystiq Blueberry Muffin Tops Breakfast once you've downloaded it?

Muffin button, can't live without it

I just finished adding all the events I was interested in into the iPhone Calendar...*sign* here we go again...

There is also a convenient app on Windows Phone 7 called 'PAX Digital Assistant' if anyone is interested...also free

I got this app the other day, it's really good. But I don't think this year's BBMT panel is on the schedule.

It's not on the the official PAX schedule, either. I'm guessing smaller events that take place in the many rooms and not on the theaters aren't mentioned.

hey guys, one of the creators of the app here... just wanted to let everyone know that if you see any updates (missing sessions, etc) to let us know [staff@proximalabs.com] so that we can update. We have the ability to push updates now, so we want to keep the app as up-to-date as possible.

Thanks!

I think it's cool you're being responsive to the community, but when it comes to making it to panels and such, I don't want to risk missing them due to a negligent app. You were probably just trying to be friendly, but asking us to let you know if you've missed anything sounds like you're enlisting us to help QA your app. I don't want to have to double-check the app with the website in order to feel comfortable with the schedule.

Are you just entering things from hand? Or are you receiving some kind of feed from the Reed/PAX people?

A little clarification here would be helpful, as this app does seem like it would be a great convenience...but it has to be at least as accurate and up to date as the website.
