NAVIGATING C4Me

Three years ago, CEA made the decision to "go green": rather than a paper program, we would "mobilize" using the Conference4me (C4Me) mobile app. The users were impressed, and we have not looked back. The C4Me app allows you to review each day and all the sessions and panels as well as the abstract for each presentation. In addition, you can create your own conference experience by using the My Agenda feature and/or adding personal notes to sessions and presentations. (For folks less comfortable with a mobilized program, C4Me is available as a website, and we continue to post a downloadable program--as a PDF-- on our webpage.)

The best way to learn how to navigate C4Me is to mess about with it. (And the BACK ARROW is key as you move throught the app!)

DOWNLOAD THE APP

On Google Play or the Apple app story type in Conference4me. Once you dowload the app, you can search for College English Association. It will bring you to the "AGENDA" screen. More on the AGENDA feature below. 

In the upper left, you'll see the three lines that link to the C4ME menu. Click there for your options. The three essential links are SEARCH, AGENDA, and GENERAL INFO.

SEARCH The search feature allows you to find a speaker, a paper, a room. For example, you can search by “film” and find a list of sessions and papers that focus on film. Find all papers on American lit or popular culture or Shakespeare. Type in a city or a school, and see who’s from what city, state, or institution. Way cool!

AGENDA (yes, it is military time. And you can toggle to local time on the AGENDA screen.) For each DAY, panels are listed by time. Click on the panel title to see a list of papers. Click on the paper title to read the abstract. (Click on the name of the presenter to see where the person might be moderating a session). Also on the AGENDA screen is MY AGENDA your personal conference schedule.

On the AGENDA screen, you’ll see a “+ ADD TO MY AGENDA” that allows you to add this panel to MY AGENDA (as well as to your personal calendar). Also on the same screen, in the upper-right corner, you’ll see the NOTES icon. Click there and you can type in your notes for the panel and send those notes to your email, messages, keep notes, etc. 

GENERAL INFO Here you’ll find all manner of conference information from a WELCOMEto information about events and speakers to cool things to do (and eat) in our host city. 

Features like VENUE and HOTELS include a brief description of our conference hotel. Charlotte (see GENERAL INFO for the good stuff) and information about getting around. And MAPS includes a guide to the conference space/meeting rooms and local transportation.  

INBOX is where organizers blast out messages to attendees. Under PEOPLE you’ll find a list of all registrants and where they are presenting and/or moderating,

If you are old school, fear not! A PDF of the program or just the schedule will be available.
