A Sweet Wireless Schedule!

By mesh08 news, meshU

Several weeks ago, we were approached by Sweet Caesar about the possibility of them creating a wireless application that would make the schedules for mesh and meshU available on a Blackberry and an iPhone.

Intrigued, I met with Sweet Caesar’s Yaeko Tong, who showed me some of the Toronto-based company’s work. It was so impressive that it was a no-brainer for Sweet Caesar to do something for mesh.

Without gushing too much, the Sweet Caesar/mesh application is super sweet. Not only are there detailed schedules for mesh and meshU but the application includes:

– A tool that lets you rate every keynote, panel and workshop (one to five stars)

– Bios and photos for every meshU and mesh speaker

– A floor plan for MaRS so you can quickly find out where the keynotes, panels and workshops are located

– A map that lists the locations of the meshU party at The Drake, the mesh party at the Rockwood and the after-party at L’Espresso Bar Mercurio

Yaeko and her team have really gone above and beyond the call of duty. We’re extremely impressed!

If you want to download the Sweet Caesar/mesh application, it will be available here on May 19 (Monday).
