Our new app for conference
We’re trying something new for conference this year: a dedicated event app, on IOS and Android, which will feature the conference agenda, standing orders – and how to get there! You can also post photos and chat to other conference attendees.
To use it, you’ll need the conference code – udmc16. You can download it now, or ask for details from the information desk at conference.
