The AALS Annual Meeting app, available in the fall, will allow you to easily view program details, speakers, hotel floorplans, exhibitor lists, and social features on your phone or tablet. You will also be able to create a personalized schedule of sessions to attend. The mobile app will contain the most current information, including all the late changes not included in the printed program.
Podcasting
AALS will record, when possible, AALS special events and section programs. These audio recordings will be made available at no charge to faculty and professional staff from AALS member and fee-paid schools on the Annual Meeting website late in January. The recordings may be distributed to the media, including comments from both the speakers and the audience. Speakers who have signed a refusal to record will still be recorded but will be edited out prior to posting or distribution. For questions related to podcasting please visit the AALS Information Desk onsite.
