2025 AAA Annual Meeting

Such a huge learning curve and so limiting! Can’t flip back and forth easily when trying to manage attending multiple sessions. Multi-step process to figure out what time within a session a particular speaker is likely to be. And if I need to keep personal appointments I can’t write them down here—so I have to juggle the paper maps, my outlook calendar, the app….. and I am missing things I would have liked to know about. Having to scroll through every paper and board title takes forever, making planning ahead difficult. Have to have topic or person in mind to search for.

The app only lists presenters who are giving formal papers, whereas at least a third if not, they half of the sessions were round tables and other kinds of events. Every name that’s listed on the program should be searchable. Also within a session, when you find it, if you click on the title of the presentation within the section, you don’t see who the presenter for that title is. The only way to find the presenter is to go back up to the session title and click on presentation details. So the inconsistency between linking names with paper titles is problematic

I’m sure this will be fixed but the app didn’t connect me to the conference. It simply says “you aren’t connected to any events yet,” So it must be a hiccup that is…completely normal for this organization. But I still cannot recommend the app.
