    AirVenture Schedule of Events

    Is there an option in the AirVenture schedule of events to filter by date? I thought I remembered that option from last year, but don't see it as an option on this year's schedule. I think it might be helpful for those that won't be there the whole week to only see events for the days that they will be there.

    Did you mean beyond the current ability to sort by date/time, location, category and topics?

    Yes. There used to be a filter on the left side of the screen for the date, but didn't see it on this year's schedule. I'm attaching a screen shot from last year's schedule which had it.

    I understand - thanks for the info assist.

    It looks like now all the events when sorted by date are listed in chronological order, applying the available filters for areas of interest. A person would then have to scroll over to the dates they want?

    Just looked today and I see the filters for date are there now. Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

    Now if we could just get a mobile format, or an app that pulls data from the website . . .

    Hmm...we've had an app that does just that for at least five years, and, as I understand it, the 2017 version will launch as early as next week. And I just pulled up the site on my iPhone and iPad, and the AirVenture events are formatted properly and can be filtered, etc.

    What am I missing?

    The app does not use the same database as the website.

    Yes, it sure does.

    If you saw differences in the data during convention last year, that would be attributable to the fact that we had to manually push updates which we did twice per day unless the change was significant. I'm told that this year's app won't require that, and will pull the latest data silently as needed vs. the cumbersome update process you saw in the past.
