Leave a Review ASM Events
Surprisingly very convenient!
I really enjoyed this app for attending ASM Microbe. It was surprisingly very efficient and intuitive, and had a lot of features that were beneficial and useful. My conference experience would not have been the same without this app- the “my schedule” feature was amazing and helpful and very easy to navigate for adding sessions of interest. I also especially liked the feature of seeing what other sessions are happening soon. One thing I didn’t use much of was the messaging feature between attendees, but not sure if others did use that. I think that for improvement, it could be cool to be able to share sessions with people or to request to add things to other people’s schedules, to help when advertising one’s own session or to coordinate which sessions people want to attend together. Overall, delightful app! This is the first time I’m reviewing an app, and this ASM app really added to my experience at the conference!Show lessprichat10
App disabled while meeting access should still be active
I’m not sure if ASM decided to remove session numbers from the on demand library or if this problem is related to the poor app functionality. I have registered to both CVS 2022 and Microbe 2022. Access was supposed to remain active until November 1 however, it has been disabled in August. Not sure either if app was not updated following Apple software update. App was functional during the live conferences.Show lesshmkang730

Could you please add your events ahead of time so it can be useful!rasharaheem
Disappointed in Workshops
I’m sorry to report that the workshop I attended on Wednesday was disappointing.
1. There was no paper or pens provided. I understand viewing the slides online only, paper and pens would have been helpful.
2. There was absolutely no food provided. We are all rushing to get here on time and there were very few vendors with long lines of people. Some fruit, coffee and bagels should have been provided for the 50 people in our workshop.
3. The 2 vendors available for lunch were over run with all of us. With little to no breakfast provided we were starving and forced to pay for lunch outside the building. The free lunch voucher of $20 could not be used or we would have missed part two of workshop. There should be at least 5 or 6 stations set up to accommodate us all since there were many workshops that day.
4. For the money we paid the amenities were poor.
Sincerely
Christine WagnerShow lesscjwalbany
Need to get familiar with it, then great!
Paper programs are an unnecessary waste and heavy to lug around. This app took a bit of time to understand (e.g. nesting of posters and presentations under main heading) but once I got it and could build my daily plan then it was great! Much better than printing the daily schedule then circling the session to see as I used to do. Thanks!Show lessSodone123
Horribly confusing. No details.
Worthless. For $425 registration where's my print program?!rfcqd
Worked pretty smoothly once I got in
A glitch (I think at the ASM end) with the login made this less useful than I hoped originally because I couldn't use it until the day of the meeting. However, I simplified navigation of the convention center, made it easy to see when multiple items of interest were near each other, and to keep track both of what I was interested in and what I actually saw. Notes can be kept on the app, and stars assigned for whatever purpose you like. Especially useful afterward was the ability to export the notes and stars as an email. I saved this as a pdf, to my notes are available.
Aside from login complaint, another problem (with ASM's materials, not the app) was lack of map on how to get to nearby venues. Who knew you had to take the subway elevator to get to street level for hotel access?Show lessMolGenattendee
It'sMicrobe!
Just in time for the inaugural meeting of Microbe, a meeting app that performs like a champ. Interface redesigned, content approachable, alerts cool. Well done!TWiMSchmidt
