BBCON 2024

Jolynn Uyehara

Had to jump on here to ask this question because I can't seem to find a way to get support for BBCON on the BBCON page. I seem to be having difficulty building my agenda for the week. The only successful day was Monday, for BBU. Is anyone else having difficulty building their agenda?

Also, I can't locate an overall general agenda of the week with the times listed. I do see it broken down by day, but I am looking for something that has all days listed with it broken down like 7:30am registration, 8:00am breakfast, 9:00am breakout session 1, something to that matter. Anyone know where I can find this or have another solution? My boss wanted me to print out the agenda to see what classes I am taking and be able to see my agenda for the week.

This is my first time attending BBCON so I'm a little lost and trying to prepare ahead of time. One of my questions is: do you need to register daily? Wondering what time I actually need to be there. Also, not seeing breakfast on Monday or Tuesday so wondering if I need to grab something on my way to the conference for those days.

Appreciate everyone's input and look forward to meeting a bunch of you! I'll have a limited supply of small treats from Hawaii as a thank you so please introduce yourself if we see one another! ?

Aloha! ?

@Jolynn Uyehara In same boat and agree to review what each session and figure out a plan is about is more work that it should be IMO.

There is a separate community forum for bbcon. I found it here.

There is a post with a schedule of all the sessions and link to the details that is helpful but you have to sort thru to find the ones for your product.

On the bbcon website some info is under sessions like the block / keynote schedules and agenda builder is under attendee info. Narrowing to just my product seems the most helpful, IMO

@Jolynn Uyehara - I wouldn't bother with the agenda builder, I've given up on it in favor of using my work calendar to track everything. It's definitely more work up-front, but everything's in one place.

Here's a few helpful links - agenda overview shows the time blocks every day. Used this as a starting place to get placeholders onto my calendar. And All Sessions is where you can filter to find those within your track.

@Jolynn Uyehara Yes, just tried to look at Wednesday and it's showing my Monday sessions.

@JoAnn Strommen it's so frustrating. I hope they fix this soon.

@Jolynn Uyehara Hi! I saw your question in the bbcon community here and I wanted you to know I'm replying to it in that community. Thanks!

The website is very frustrating. It took me 2 days to make my agenda and star all the alternate sessions I was interested in. Now I installed the app on my phone and my agenda is not there. I don't want to have to spend more time setting it up on the app now.

@Therese Morris - While this is a frustrating situation, the good new is the app is much easier to work with than the website agenda builder.

@Therese Morris
Mine did load to the app. I hadn't finished Thursday's. Did on website and didn't come over until I entered one on the app. Try entering one session and see if it brings over everything.

Hoping it does for you.

@Austen Brown
I'm trying to do agenda now, and wonder what app you are talking about that's easier to use.

Thanks

@Alex Wong - Search for “bbcon 2024” in your app store (apple/android). Use your email to log-in. It ‘should’ have anything listed that you also did on the website, but I found only my favorites came over.

Icon looks like this.
