  10. Observations regarding American Physical Society meetings • At the April 2011 meeting in Anaheim, a trial of the usefulness of online slide presentations was conducted • Slides were uploaded by (some of) the speakers and were available immediately after their talks • Preliminary analysis indicates 39,000 page hits and 7000 talk downloads (7 x number of attendees) • A survey indicated particular value to members in industry, members outside the U.S., and student members • http://www.physics.wisc.edu/APSApril2011 • APS is using smart phone apps to give attendees access to session schedules, abstracts, maps, and exhibitor lists • The apps have a personal scheduler capable of real time updates (when wifi is available), but the apps are primarily off-line; data is downloaded in advance • This is also done at Pittcon
