Sometimes it can be daunting to keep track of all the things you want to see and do while at a trade show. At this year’s ad:tech San Francisco, you have two options to plan and schedule the panels, sessions, and parties you want to attend. The first option is available directly on the ad:tech website here. Simply check off which events you plan to attend and then print out the itinerary pr have it emailed to you.
The second option comes independently from SCHED. THe organization has put together a customized schedule for the San Francisco show. Similarly to the ad:tech onsite version, simply check off which events you can to attend. Added features let you see who else is attending a particular session or event, which events are the most popular, create groups calendars combining your schedule with others’ and view events by location (room, nightclub). And you can download an iCal file of your personalized schedule to your calendar of choice.
Check them both out and see which one works for you.

Having just returned from SXSW in Austin where the bleeding edge digerati share their wisdom regarding all things interactive, it’s pleasing to know we’ll be able to experience it again at ad:tech San Francisco where Digg Founder Kevin Rose, who was at SXSW, will be the closing keynote speaker Thursday, April 17 at 4:45PM. We captured him, along with Reddit and StumbleUpon founders, at an SXSW party. Now we’ll be able to see him speak.
Other keynotes during ad:tech San Francisco, which is held April 15-7 at the Moscone Center, include NBC Universal Chief Digital Officer George Kliavkoff who will talk about how NBC is taking NBC’s programming digital through the company’s just launched Hulu (which rocks, by the way) and other outlets.
