As a regular attendee...

You can pin/unpin events

This allows to make them more proeminent Pinned events are sorted in following order:

  • Ongoing events: from closest to farthest in the future
  • Future events: from closest to farthest in the future
  • Past events: from closest to farthest in the past You can also filter events based on basic search.

You can browse your event's daily schedules

Talk are grouped by Timeslots (start -> end of talk), then broken down per talk formats.
Break are also displayed differently, in dedicated timeslots with a picture attached to it.
Timeslots overlapping with other timeslots are pinpointed with a dedicated UI marker.

2.-.browsing.schedule.mov

You can fav/unfav talks

This allows to prepare your talk scheduling.
A dedicated favorites screen is also available showing you favorited-only talks.

3.-.fav.unfav.talks.mov

You can rate talks

Only when your conference organizer enabled this feature, you should be able to rate talks.

Only Ongoing or Past talks can be rated (a Future talk can't be rated).
Different (non exclusive) types of ratings are available (configurable at the conference organizer level) : linear rating, bingo, free text comment (requires to be authenticated)
There is a dedicated tab allowing to see all your feedbacks for a given conference.

Voxxrin 3 is offline first

The app has been designed to work while being completely offline.
The only operation needed is to open an event at least once... and all of its talks will be made available while offline.
You can even rate and fav/unfav talks whiles being offline, your actions will then be synchronized in the background once the app will be back online.

5.-.Offline.support.mov

Rooms can be hidden

This can be an interesting feature for conf organizers who don't want to communicate room assignment to their speaker (to avoid deception).
You can hide rooms, so that attendees are able to make their schedule with favorites.
Then you can decide, based on favorites, to re-allocate talks to different rooms, THEN show the room once the final allocation has been decided.

Marking a talk as "to watch later"

Only when your conference organizer enabled this feature, you should be able to mark talks as "watchable later".

Watch later feature allows to be notified once the recording of the talks marked as "to watch later" is made available.
This is typically very useful if, for a given timeslots, you favorited multiple talks but had to make a choice.
It is also interesting, for people not attending the conference, to mark talks they would be interested to watch with this marker.
In global user preferences, you can have an overview of all your talks marked as "watch later", and you can manage this list (removing the flag, or marking talk as "watched" so that it can disappear from the list).
Lastly, when you're rating a talk, you will be given the possibility to mark every other favorited talks than the rated one (for both current timeslot, but also on every other overlapping timeslots !) as "to watch later")

_Video to be created because there was some bugs at the moment the screen capture has been created._

Showing realtime room capacity

When enabled, you can show a realtime indicator on top of every upcoming talks, telling your attendees when room is going to be packed.
This is a particularly useful feature for events with a big venue and a lot of parallel tracks, and where having your attendees to walk through the whole venue to finally discover the room is totally packed can be very deceptive.

Warning: this feature requires some minimal organization in order to have people in the rooms to regularly send room capacity indicator to Voxxrin.

App can be white-labelled for particular conference families (example: Devoxx)

White label apps have special configurations :

  • They have a dedicated domain name (different than https://app.voxxr.in)
  • Some label (like, the application's name) can be customized
  • Application icon/logo can be customized
  • List of events displayed on event selector screen can also be filtered to only a subset of events (based on their event family)
  • They both share the same backend (meaning that if someone favorites a talk, total favorites count will be incremented on every white label apps), however the data is scoped to the white label app domain (on the same device, you won't be able to share your personal data across white labelled apps)
7.-.white.label.apps.mov

A talk search engine is there

Beware: at the moment, talk results for other days are not displayed yet (see #17)
This search looks up: Talk title, summary (not available), speaker names & company
Semantic search will come at some point in the future

8.-.Searching.talks.mov

There is even a Dark theme

Currently, the light/dark theme is not congifurable (theme will be picked based on your OS preferences) but a toggle should quickly come on the User Profile page (look at #67)

As a conference organizer

To be added once `config-event` branch will have been merged on `develop` ...
  • you should have global statistics regarding your conference: daily top rated talks, overall top rating talks, daily number of feedbacks, overall number of feedbacks, etc.
  • you should be able to update some important features on your conference (rooms displayed, feedbacks enabled, etc.)
  • you can customize a lot the theme of your event (3 main colors, logo, background etc.)

As a talk contributor (speaker)

You can look at your talks' feedbacks

Pre-requisite to this is to have added your talk's feedback viewer token (this should be granted by your conference organizer)
Once registered, you will be able to access your talks' feedback through your personal user space
Statistics should be displayed on ratings, bingo etc.
You can also have the details of different feedbacks provided.
Maybe in the future, you might see achievements on this page, that could be shared with other people (like, conference organizers asking for reference materials)

9.-.Speaker.feedbacks.mov

You should be able to provide asset URLs to your talk

TO BE IMPLEMENTED In order to share slides, transcripts, repository, recordings, with the attendees (these materials will then be downloadable from the talk's detail screen.

Note that a post-conferences Youtube Channel crawler already exists in order to automatically link a Youtube video with the talk so that it can automatically be embedded on talk Details screen, see this event descriptor configuration.
