The iCompass team and I just got back from the AWC conference and wow, what a great experience! Elected officials and municipal staff from across Washington state came together to share ideas and shape city policy during three inspiring days of sessions and networking events.

AWC Delegates Embrace AgendaNotes iPad
A number of our Washington state customers, including the AWC Board of Directors, rushed over to the iCompass booth between sessions, enthusiastic to get going with AgendaNotes iPad app too, including the AWC Board of Directors. Several brought their iPads to the conference, so we got them up and running on the app in minutes; they left the event already reviewing and annotating their meeting agendas!

For anyone who wasn't able to see a live demo of the app, we are holding short webinars throughout the summer. Visit our AgendaNotes iPad Webinar Page for more information on attending the Go GREEN with AgendaNotes iPad webinar. |
Tradeshow reception gets a little fuzzy
The final night of the conference centered around the Tradeshow Reception. Delegates rushed the area to get their AWC 'passports' filled with vendor signatures in order to spin the Prize Wheel. While signing passports the iCompass team also handed out special party favors - stick-on moustaches!
