Event Maps for CHI2010

Event Maps is a rich internet application intended to help people
browse/organize/collaborate on multi-track conference events. Event
Maps is brought to you by IBM Research - Watson and is being deployed
for CHI 2010 attendees to help refine the system and provide an
attendee benefit. Using Event Maps, you can browse, search and
navigate the sessions of a conference via a zoommable interface. If
you log in, you will be able to mark sessions of interest as
favorites, export favorites, make comments, view the comments of
others, and see the popularity of sessions according to favorite
counts.

Event Maps is an accepted Work In Progress for CHI 2010 and this "live
demo" of the system is being provided as an adjunct to their poster.
You can see the Event Map for CHI 2010 here:
