Conference Mobile Web
Sometimes we don’t get it right.
This year USITT offered a new mobile site for the Annual Conference & Stage Expo. While it had great potential, creating it in six weeks was a challenge greater than the software company was ready to handle, and more than they anticipated. The office collected the feedback from the attendees and shared it with the developers. Their response was to return the entire cost to USITT.
USITT will continue to work to provide a highly integrated conference site, but this one was not it. The office and volunteers do lots of things right in this Institute and those are what we like to promote. When we miss the mark, we should admit that too. Please keep your comments coming, they do make a difference.
Happy Independence Day
For those in the United States, we wish all a mid-week break from the usual. Whether at a performance, helping stage a concert, or figuring out a new recipe for barbecue, have a great celebration. The USITT office will be closed on Wednesday, July 4.
