IdoCheckin at IBM Connect 2014 - what’s different

IdoCheckin, the ability to check in using location service, will be back to IBM Connect and Lotusphere 2014 with a few changes

Walt Disney World has once again taken it upon themselves to not want individual meeting rooms listed for IdoCheckin for most of the Dolphin Convention Center.  They have merged out the following into one giant cess pool of check-ins called Dolphin Convention Center:
  • Northern Hemisphere A-C
  • Northern Hemisphere D
  • Northern Hemisphere E
  • Southern Hemisphere I
  • Southern Hemisphere II
  • Southern Hemisphere III
  • Southern Hemisphere IV-V
  • Atlantic Hall
  • Pacific Hall
  • Asia rooms
  • Europe rooms
  • Oceanic rooms
  • Americas

Many of the smaller venues still exist like restaurants and (thank goodness) the Dolphin lobby fountain remained in tact.  I am debating recreating them like usual or just letting us wander around aimlessly looking for friends because they don't understand the place is too big to not have smaller rooms to check into while there to locate people.

Feel free to tweet WaltDisneyWorld and let them know they screwed up location services for  #ibmconnect and #idocheckin again this year.  Ugh.

Make sure to follow me on here, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram and even Facebook for updates and photos. Apparently Foursquare will not help.
