New Tools For iPhone, Blackberry, Paper
We mentioned earlier how excited we were to be serving both the Meeting Professional International’s MeetDifferent Conference and Cascadia Educational Conference. We’re also proud to welcome the Green Meeting Industry Council‘s February annual conference to the Pathable fold.
Well, with all these professional meeting planners to impress, we decided to take out the stops and dress to impress, releasing a host of new features this past week to make sure attendees at these Pathable-powered conferences had a great experience.
To that end, we’re pleased to announce the release iPhone and Blackberry-specific versions of the Pathable web site (Note: this will work on most mobile phone browsers, we just made sure they looked fantastic on these highly common devices). If you visit pathable.com with your mobile phone, we’ll automatically serve you up the version appropriate for your phone, so no need to remember the URL when you’re walking down the hall, phone in hand.

In fact, to make it even easier for you, we’re included a special “On the Go” module on the Pathable home page that will let you send yourself a personalized login link via SMS, so you don’t have to hassle with typing URL’s or user names or passwords on your tiny keyboard.
The mobile versions of Pathable include quick access to your personal schedule, search tools for finding other attendees, and quick access to the profiles of the other attendees in your sessions, so if there’s someone you want to buttonhole, you can find read up on them before reaching out.
Now wait, I can already hear the cry from the mobile have-nots. What if you don’t have an iPhone or a Blackberry or some other browser-enabled mobile phone? What if you (gasp) prefer paper and pen to keypads and screens? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Pathable also produces a printer-ready PDF of your personalized schedule and contacts, so you can carry a dead tree version of Pathable in your pocket.
All existing Pathable communities have been automatically updated with these features, so whether you’re headed to one of the meetings we mentioned above or not, enjoy!
